Sensing Technology (ST) plays a key role in Structural Health-Monitoring (SHM) systems.
ST focuses on develo** sensors, sensory systems, or smart materials that monitor a wide …

In this paper, we propose a highly reliable and accurate collision estimator for robot
manipulators working in human–robot collaborative environments, based on the Bayesian …

This work presents a perception system applied to robotic manipulation, that is able to assist
in navigation, household waste classification and collection in outdoor environments. This …

Technical advances in the smart device market have fixated smartphones at the heart of our
lives, warranting an ever more secure means of authentication. Although most smartphones …

Advances in virtual reality (VR) have reduced experience differentials for users. However,
gaps between reality and virtuality persist in tasks that require coupling users' multimodal …

Structural parts are designed to maintain their integrity, but over time factors such as aging,
environmental conditions, and accidents can cause changes that lead to failure. Structural …

We developed a tactile sensor for robot hands that can measure normal force (FZ) and
tangential forces (FX and FY) using photoelasticity. This tactile sensor has three …

The material's stiffness plays a crucial role in tactile sensors and stiffness controllers of robot
joints, facilitating safe and effective robot-environment interactions. Conventional controllers …

The collision detection and estimation of external forces for robot manipulators are essential
to ensure compliance and safety in the interaction between the robot and the environment or …

Vibration is an indispensable part of the tactile perception, which is encoded to oscillatory
synaptic currents by receptors and transferred to neurons in the brain. The A2 and B1 …
