A new tactile sensing system

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), 2002
The 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.

Biomimetic Tactile Sensing Capsule

2015
Here 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, 1989
The 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

Robotic Tactile Sensing

, 2013
Future robots are expected to work closely and interact safely with real-world objects and humans alike. Sense of touch is important in this context, as it helps estimate properties such as shape, texture, hardness, material type and many more; provides ...

Tactile Vision – Merging of Senses

2016
We 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 ...

Dynamic tactile sensing for object identification

IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2004. Proceedings. ICRA '04. 2004, 2004
We propose a neural architecture for the recognition of objects by haptics. We demonstrate its performance for a set of household objects and toys using a low cost 2D pressure sensor of coarse resolution, which is moved by a robot arm guided by contact points. The approach transfers the well known view-based method from computer vision to the domain of

Tactile Score, a Knowledge Media of Tactile Sense for Creativity

2012
The sensitivity information processing have been developed by visualizing it through developing a method of describe, such as musical stores. We propose a knowledge media of describing tactile sense and visualize it, with refereed to the musical score.

Future Tactile Sense

2013
In this final chapter, we give another aspect of tactile sense and massage from the view point of Natural computing, NC; NC is a interdisciplinary research field relating to computer science, biology, chemistry and so on. An aim of NC is to understand nature as algorithm: in the previous chapter, we showed that massages can be regarded as basic ...
