Soft robotics is a growing area of research which utilizes the compliance and adaptability of
soft structures to develop highly adaptive robotics for soft interactions. One area in which soft …

Touch sensing can help robots understand their surrounding environment, and in particular
the objects they interact with. To this end, roboticists have, in the last few decades …

Tactile sensing is an essential component in human–robot interaction and object
manipulation. Soft sensors allow for safe interaction and improved gripping performance …

Reproducing the capabilities of the human sense of touch in machines is an important step
in enabling robot manipulation to have the ease of human dexterity. A combination of robotic …

A soft gripper inspired by the glowing sucker octopus (Stauroteuthis syrtensis)'highly
evolved grasping capability enabled by the umbrella‐shaped dorsal and ventral membrane …

Distributed tactile sensing is crucial to perform stable, subtle, and precise manipulation so
that a robot can recognize and handle objects properly. However, currently existing skin …

Soft end effectors or grippers capable of grasping objects dexterously and efficiently have
attracted increasing attention in a broad range of applications. This article describes a smart …

Typically, the fingertips of a dexterous robotic hand are designed to be rigid and equipped
with a variety of sensors to provide tactile perception. However, this design scheme renders …

This paper reviews the existing vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) designs reported in the
literature. Although some reviews on VBTSs already exist in the literature. We believe it is …

Being aware of our body has great importance in our everyday life. It helps us to complete
difficult tasks, such as movement in a dark room or grasping a complex object. These skills …
