A Two‐Stage Characterization Pipeline and Open‐Source Framework for Reproducible Tactile Sensing
Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.The same soft tactile sensor returns different numbers when embodied in different robots. This is an Embodiment Gap that no shared framework currently captures transparently. A two‐stage characterization pipeline, paired with a FAIR open‐source digital datasheet, decouples intrinsic sensor behavior from embodiment effects and condenses cross‐laboratory
