Researchers have adopted mechanistic and learning-based approaches for tip force estimation on soft robotic catheters. Typically the literature attributes the mech-anistic methods with more accuracy while indicating the learning-based methods outpace...
This paper presents a flexible tactile sensor with a compact structure based on a piezoresistive thin film and an elastomer for detecting three-dimensional (3D) force. The film contains four independent sensing cells, which were made using a type of ...
Among kinds of flexible tactile sensors, piezoelectric tactile sensor has the advantage of fast response for dynamic force detection. However, it suffers from low sensitivity at high-frequency dynamic stimuli. Here, inspired by finger structure-rigid...

Biofidel measuring devices are used to validate safety in collaborative workplaces. In these workplaces, humans work together with robots that are equipped with a Power and Force Limiting function (PFL). In this experimental comparison, differences b...
This paper presents a method to include unmodeled dynamics of load or a robot's end-effector into algorithms for collision detection or general understanding of a robot's operation context. The approach relies on the application of a previously devel...
Human-robot interaction technology has contributed to improving sociality for humanoid robots. At scales far from human scales, a microrobot can interact with an environment in a small world. Microsensors have been applied to measurement of forces by...
