The design of robots that interact autonomously with the environment and exhibit complex
behaviours is an open challenge that can benefit from understanding what makes living …

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 …

A vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) is an innovative optical sensor widely applied in robotic
perception. The VBTS consists of a contact module, an illumination module, and a camera …

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 …

Touch is one most of the important aspects of human life. Nearly all interactions, when
broken down, involve touch in one form or another. Recent advances in technology …

Optical tactile sensors have recently become popular. They provide high spatial resolution,
but struggle to offer fine temporal resolutions. To overcome this shortcoming, we study the …

Tactile sensing plays a pivotal role in achieving precise physical manipulation tasks and
extracting vital physical features. This comprehensive review paper presents an in-depth …

Loss of tactile sensation is a common occurrence in patients with traumatic peripheral nerve
injury or soft tissue loss, but as yet, solutions for restoring such sensation are limited …

To enable precise manipulation of fragile objects, robots need the sense of touch. Localized
sensing of the 3D force vector with a few mN of resolution is desired. Magnetic force …

Slip detection is essential for robots to make robust gras** and fine manipulation. In this
paper, a novel dynamic vision-based finger system for slip detection and suppression is …
