Tactile sensing is a key sensor modality for robots interacting with their surroundings. These
sensors provide a rich and diverse set of data signals that contain detailed information …

This paper surveys recently published literature on tactile sensing in robotic manipulation to
understand effective strategies for using tactile sensing and the issues involved in tactile …

Contact-rich manipulation tasks in unstructured environments often require both haptic and
visual feedback. It is nontrivial to manually design a robot controller that combines these …

The ever-increasing complexity of robot applications induces the need for methods to
approach problems with no (viable) analytical solution. Deep learning (DL) provides a set of …

Touch sensing is widely acknowledged to be important for dexterous robotic manipulation,
but exploiting tactile sensing for continuous, non-prehensile manipulation is challenging …

Tactile servoing is an important technique because it enables robots to manipulate objects
with precision and accuracy while adapting to changes in their environments in real-time …

Robotic manipulation is challenging when both the objects being manipulated and the
tactile sensors are deformable. In this article, we addressed the interplay between the …

Generating robot motion for multiple tasks in dynamic environments is challenging, requiring
an algorithm to respond reactively while accounting for complex nonlinear relationships …

When the dynamics of a system are difficult to model and/or time-consuming to evaluate,
such as in deformable object manipulation tasks, motion planning algorithms struggle to find …

Humans rely on the synergy of their senses for most essential tasks. For tasks requiring
object manipulation, we seamlessly and effectively exploit the complementarity of our …
