Tactile Sensing - From Humans to Humanoids
نویسندگان
چکیده
Starting from human “sense of touch,” this paper 3 reviews the state of tactile sensing in humanoid robotics. The phys4 iology, coding, and transferring tactile data and perceptual impor5 tance of the “sense of touch” in humans are discussed. Following 6 this, a number of design hints derived for robotic tactile sensing are 7 presented. Various technologies and transduction methods used to 8 improve the touch sense capability of robots are presented. Tactile 9 sensing, focused to fingertips and hands until past decade or so, has 10 now been extended to whole body, even though many issues remain 11 open. Trend and methods to develop tactile sensing arrays for var12 ious body sites are presented. Finally, various system issues that 13 keep tactile sensing away from widespread utility are discussed. 14

Stretchable capacitive tactile skin on humanoid robot fingers - First experiments and results
A stretchable tactile sensor skin has been demonstrated on the dorsal side of a robotic hand for the first time. The sensors can detect normal pressures on the same scale as human skin but also in excess of 250 kPa and withstand strains in excess of 15%. Using tactile information from the sensors mounted on a glove worn by a humanoid robot’s hand, obstacle detection and surface reconstruction t...
متن کاملBiomimetic Tactile Sensing
Tactile sensing is an essential component in many applications such as robotics, haptics, rehabilitation, electrotextiles, prosthetics and many more. In the light of greater focus on man-machine interaction, the importance of artificial tactile sensing as an important feedback tool is also growing. Starting with an overview of tactile sensing, in humans and robots, this chapter presents artific...
متن کاملAcquisition of Contact Force and Slippage Using a Vision-Based Tactile Sensor with a Fluid-Type Touchpad for the Dexterous Handling of Robots
Tactile receptors in the skin allow humans to sense multimodal tactile information such as the contact force, slippage, shape, position and orientation of a contacted object. Humans easily control their muscles by feeding back information from tactile receptors. Therefore, tactile sensing is a key factor in enabling robots to imitate skilled human behaviors. Precise control and dexterity in rob...
متن کاملExpanding Frontiers of Humanoid Robotics
Mobile robots pose a unique set of challenges to artificial intelligence researchers. Such challenges include issues of autonomy, uncertainty (both sensing and control), and reliability, which are all constrained by the discipline that the real world imposes. Planning, sensing, and acting must occur in concert and in context. That is, information processing must satisfy not only the constraints...
متن کاملViTac: Feature Sharing between Vision and Tactile Sensing for Cloth Texture Recognition
Vision and touch are two of the important sensing modalities for humans and they offer complementary information for sensing the environment. Robots could also benefit from such multi-modal sensing ability. In this paper, addressing for the first time (to the best of our knowledge) texture recognition from tactile images and vision, we propose a new fusion method named Deep Maximum Covariance A...
