Tactile Sensing—From Humans to Humanoids

open access: yesIEEE Transactions on Robotics, 2010
Starting from human ?sense of touch,? this paper reviews the state of tactile sensing in robotics. The physiology, coding, and transferring tactile data and perceptual importance of the ?sense of touch? in humans are discussed. Following this, a number of design hints derived for robotic tactile sensing are presented.

Learning in the tactile sense

Annals of Biomedical Engineering, 1979
The effect of training on the two point discrimination threshold (TPDT) is investigated as part of ongoing efforts to optimize the design of electrotactile displays for artificially communicating sensory information in the categories of tactile, kinesthetic, visual and auditory sensation.

Thermal tactile sensing

IEEE Transactions on Robotics and Automation, 1993
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.

A Soft Durometer for Tactile Sensing

2021 IEEE 4th International Conference on Soft Robotics (RoboSoft), 2021
The food industry is dependent on human labor for tasks that require tactile sensing, due in part to a lack of robotic sensors that are delicate enough to interact with food. In this paper we present the design, modeling, and performance of a durometer constructed with soft materials.

Tactile sensing utilizing human tactile perception

2011 IEEE World Haptics Conference, 2011
Human 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, 2011
Tactile 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.

Tactile Sensing Mechanisms

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, 1997
In 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 ...
