Assistive and rehabilitation devices are a promising and challenging field of recent robotics
research. Motivated by societal needs such as aging populations, such devices can support …

Social robots are becoming increasingly diverse in their design, behavior, and usage. In this
chapter, we provide a broad-ranging overview of the main characteristics that arise when …

With the increased availability of rich tactile sensors, there is an an equally proportional
need for open-source and integrated software capable of efficiently and effectively …

In this paper we describe how we realized event-based signaling for large scale artificial
robotic skin. We developed a new algorithm for the event generation on multi-modal skin …

Tactile sensing is a key enabling technology to develop complex behaviours for robots
interacting with humans or the environment. This paper discusses computational aspects …

Research on tactile sensing has been progressing at constant pace. In robotics, tactile
sensing is typically studied in the context of object grasping and manipulation. In this …

Providing robots with large-scale robot skin is a challenging goal, especially when
considering surfaces characterised by different shapes and curvatures. The problem …

This article presents the core elements of a cross-platform tactile capabilities interface (TCI)
for humanoid arms. The aim of the interface is to reduce the cost of developing humanoid …

Se están desarrollando diferentes sensores capacitivos, resistivos, intrínsecos y extrínsecos
sensibles a la fuerza, extremadamente delgados y ligeros, con la capacidad de ser …

This chapter provides a descriptive map of digitally mediated touch communication. Whilst
acknowledging our everyday interaction with touch screens, our focus is on emergent and …
