Tactile sensing is an essential element of autonomous dexterous robot hand manipulation. It
provides information about forces of interaction and surface properties at points of contact …

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 …

Dexterous robots have emerged in the last decade in response to the need for fine-motor-
control assistance in applications as diverse as surgery, undersea welding, and mechanical …

Novel high-resolution pressure-sensor arrays allow treating pressure readings as standard
images. Computer vision algorithms and methods such as convolutional neural networks …

Using a tactile array sensor to recognize an object often requires multiple touches at
different positions. This process is prone to move or rotate the object, which inevitably …

Tactile sensors play very important role for robot perception in the dynamic or unknown
environment. However, the tactile object recognition exhibits great challenges in practical …

Tactile data and kinesthetic cues are two important sensing sources in robot object
recognition and are complementary to each other. In this paper, we propose a novel …

Humans display the remarkable ability to sense the world through tools and other held
objects. For example, we are able to pinpoint impact locations on a held rod and tell apart …

Dexterous manipulation in robotic hands relies on an accurate sense of artificial touch. Here
we investigate neuromorphic tactile sensation with an event-based optical tactile sensor …

This paper presents a novel framework for integration of vision and tactile sensing by
localizing tactile readings in a visual object map. Intuitively, there are some …
