The measurement of temperature change as an indication of a material's relative thermal conductivity has often been utilized as a means of tactile sensing. Unfortunately, the long time response of most thermal sensors makes such a technique too slow for normal industrial robotic uses.

Tactile sensing utilizing human tactile perception
2011 IEEE World Haptics Conference, 2011Human tactile perception incorporates two important characteristics - self-reference and bidirectionality. Self-reference is an important factor when evaluating tactile sensations. Bidirectionality contributes to sensing capability enhancement. In this paper, a tactile sensor including self-reference and bidirectionality is presented.

Tactile Sensing for Mobile Manipulation
IEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2011Tactile information is valuable in determining properties of objects that are inaccessible from visual perception. In this paper, we present a tactile perception strategy that allows a mobile robot with tactile sensors in its gripper to measure a generic set of tactile features while manipulating an object.

The International Journal of Robotics Research, 1990
This paper has three main themes: design of a cylindrical tactile sensor, mechanical analysis using planar linear elas ticity models, and signal analysis for determining basic infor mation about the applied contact. An analysis of appropriate sensor depth has been used to allow accurate localization of contacts and reduced spatial aliasing.

A Fuzzy Classifier for Tactile Sensing
Journal of Intelligent and Robotic Systems, 1997In this paper we propose a fuzzy rule-based algorithm for solving classification problems related to tactile sensing. A tactile sensing system is a robotic device which gives an image of contacting objects. While the fine form recognition problem has been widely discussed and several techniques have been proposed for its solution (Bayesian approach or ...

Proceedings. 1988 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2003
The development of a tactile sensing system for an industrial robot gripper using a commercial force transducer is described. The hardware and software aspects of the system design are outlines and pertinent design details of the proposed finger are given. Performance evaluation tests were conducted on the prototype system fabricated in the laboratory.

Hybrid resistive tactile sensing
IEEE Transactions on Systems, Man and Cybernetics, Part B (Cybernetics), 2002The paper describes a novel design of a robot tactile sensor, called hybrid tactile sensor, based on analog resistive technology. The design employs a set of parallel analog resistive sensing strips, rather than a two-dimensional (2D) grid of sensing elements, to sample the sensor surface.

Tactile Vision – Merging of Senses
2016We developed a tactile vision sensor, by converting light intensity from narrowband reflection spectroscopy into different stimuli such as sound. This creates the perception of colours though alternative senses. The device extends work done to develop a wearable sensor of erythema and shows the outcome from the collaboration between scientists and ...

Biomimetic Tactile Sensing Capsule
2015Here we present a tactile sensing capsule endoscopy system. Whilst current capsule endoscopy utilises cameras to diagnose lesions on the surface of the gastrointestinal tract lumen, this proposal uses remote palpation to stimulate a bio-inspired tactile sensing surface that deforms under the impression of hard raised objects.

Tactile sensing of surface features
Trends in Neurosciences, 1989The tactile recognition of an object held in the hand involves characterizing its surface features. Recent neurophysiological studies point to a number of possible ways in which tactile primary afferents convey information about surface characteristics. The spatial pattern of the afferents that are activated probably underlies the unique recognition of
