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 …

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 …

The large expansion of the robotic field in the last decades has created a growing interest in
the research and development of tactile sensing solutions for robot hand and body …

The advent of sensor arrays providing tactile feedback with high spatial and temporal
resolution asks for new control strategies to exploit this important and valuable sensory …

In this paper we introduce a novel way of producing highly sensitive 3D-shaped tactile
sensors. The sense of touch is critical for enabling humans to master intricate manual …

In this study, we introduce a novel maze task designed to investigate naturalistic motor
learning in bimanual coordination. We developed and validated an extended set of …

This work deals with a practical everyday problem: stable object placement on flat surfaces
starting from unknown initial poses. Common object-placing approaches require either …

In robotic manipulation, tactile sensors are indispensable, especially when dealing with soft
objects, objects of varying dimensions, or those out of the robot's direct line of sight …

The human hand interacts with the environment via physical contact, and tactile information
is closely associated with finger movement patterns. Studying the relationship between …

Tactile information is a critical tool for fine-grain manipulation. As humans, we rely heavily on
tactile information to understand objects in our environments and how to interact with them …
