Mechanical replacement prosthetics have advanced in both esthetics and mechanical
functions, but still require progress in attaining full natural functionality via tactile feedback …

This article presents a holistic approach to the engineering of an artificial robot skin for
robots. An example of a multimodal skin cell is given, one that supports multiple human-like …

Conventional industrial robots are unable to guarantee the inherent safety when working
together with humans due to the use of rigid components and the lack of force sensation. To …

Assistive and rehabilitation devices are a promising and challenging field of recent robotics
research. Motivated by societal needs such as aging populations, such devices can support …

With the increased availability of rich tactile sensors, there is an an equally proportional
need for open-source and integrated software capable of efficiently and effectively …

This paper deals with the problem of using the tactile feedback generated by a robotic skin
for discriminating a human hand touch from a generic contact. Humans understand …

In this paper we describe how we realized event-based signaling for large scale artificial
robotic skin. We developed a new algorithm for the event generation on multi-modal skin …

The design and validation of a continuously stretchable and flexible skin sensor for
collaborative robotic applications is outlined. The skin consists of a PDMS skin doped with …

This work introduces an array prototype based on a Frequency Modulation (FM) encoding
architecture to transfer multiple sensor signals on a single wire. The use case presented …

In this paper we propose event-based signaling for large-scale artificial robotic skin to
reduce bandwidth requirements on data transmission and processing power. We use the …
