Touchformer: A Transformer-Based Two-Tower Architecture for Tactile Temporal Signal Classification.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Haptic temporal signal recognition plays an important supporting role in robot perception. This paper investigates how to improve classification performance on multiple types of haptic temporal signal datasets using a Transformer model structure. By ...

Teaching Motor Skills Without a Motor: A Semi-Passive Robot to Facilitate Learning.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Semi-passive rehabilitation robots resist and steer a patient's motion using only controllable passive force elements (e.g., controllable brakes). Contrarily, passive robots use uncontrollable passive force elements (e.g., springs), while active robo...

A Multifunctional Tactile Sensory System for Robotic Intelligent Identification and Manipulation Perception.

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
Humans recognize and manipulate objects relying on the multidimensional force features captured by the tactile sense of skin during the manipulation. Since the current sensors integrated in robots cannot support the robots to sense the multiple inter...

Intrinsic sense of touch for intuitive physical human-robot interaction.

Science robotics
The sense of touch is a property that allows humans to interact delicately with their physical environment. This article reports on a technological advancement in intuitive human-robot interaction that enables an intrinsic robotic sense of touch with...

Zero-Biased Bionic Fingertip E-Skin with Multimodal Tactile Perception and Artificial Intelligence for Augmented Touch Awareness.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Electronic skins (E-Skins) are crucial for future robotics and wearable devices to interact with and perceive the real world. Prior research faces challenges in achieving comprehensive tactile perception and versatile functionality while keeping syst...

Multimodal tactile sensing fused with vision for dexterous robotic housekeeping.

Nature communications
As robots are increasingly participating in our daily lives, the quests to mimic human abilities have driven the advancements of robotic multimodal senses. However, current perceptual technologies still unsatisfied robotic needs for home tasks/enviro...

Tactile emoticons: Conveying social emotions and intentions with manual and robotic tactile feedback during social media communications.

PloS one
Touch offers important non-verbal possibilities for socioaffective communication. Yet most digital communications lack capabilities regarding exchanging affective tactile messages (tactile emoticons). Additionally, previous studies on tactile emotico...

Relaxing Conservatism for Enhanced Impedance Range and Transparency in Haptic Interaction.

IEEE transactions on haptics
The Time Domain Passivity Approach (TDPA) has been accepted as one of least conservative tools for designing stabilizing controllers in haptics and teleoperation, but it still suffers from conservatism because it is based on passivity. Additionally, ...

Haptic Interactions Subject to Variable Latency.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Model-Mediated Teleoperation (MMT) between a haptic device and a remote or virtual environment uses a local model of the environment to compensate for latency of communication. MMT is often case-specific, and requires underlying latency distributions...

From CySkin to ProxySKIN: Design, Implementation and Testing of a Multi-Modal Robotic Skin for Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The Industry 5.0 paradigm has a human-centered vision of the industrial scenario and foresees a close collaboration between humans and robots. Industrial manufacturing environments must be easily adaptable to different task requirements, possibly tak...
