Tactile sensing is an important perception mode for robots, but the existing tactile
technologies have multiple limitations. What kind of tactile information robots need, and how …

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 …

This work describes the development of a high-resolution tactile-sensing finger for robot
grasping. This finger, inspired by previous GelSight sensing techniques (Johnson and …

A GelSight sensor uses an elastomeric slab covered with a reflective membrane to measure
tactile signals. It measures the 3D geometry and contact force information with high spacial …

A tactile image sensor employing a camera is capable of obtaining rich tactile information
through image sequences with high spatial resolution. There have been many studies on …

This paper describes a simple, inexpensive, and scalable technique for enabling high-
resolution multi-touch sensing on rear-projected interactive surfaces based on frustrated …

Hardness is among the most important attributes of an object that humans learn about
through touch. However, approaches for robots to estimate hardness are limited, due to the …

Human skin is capable of sensing various types of forces with high resolution and accuracy.
The development of an artificial sense of touch needs to address these properties, while …

The vision-based tactile sensor has been proven to be a promising device for sensing tactile
information. Among such sensors, the marker displacement method (MDM) is the most …

In this paper, we present a new version of tactile sensor GelSlim 2.0 with the capability to
estimate the contact force distribution in real time. The sensor is vision-based and uses an …
