Freestanding and Scalable Force-Softness Bimodal Sensor Arrays for Haptic Body-Feature Identification.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Tactile technologies that can identify human body features are valuable in clinical diagnosis and human-machine interactions. Previously, cutting-edge tactile platforms have been able to identify structured non-living objects; however, identification...

FPGA Applied to Latency Reduction for the Tactile Internet.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Tactile internet applications allow robotic devices to be remotely controlled over a communication medium with an unnoticeable time delay. In bilateral communication, the acceptable round trip latency is usually 1 ms up to 10 ms, depending on the app...

Active tactile sensing of small insect force by a soft microfinger toward microfinger-insect interactions.

Scientific reports
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...

Large-Scale Integrated Flexible Tactile Sensor Array for Sensitive Smart Robotic Touch.

ACS nano
In the long pursuit of smart robotics, it has been envisioned to empower robots with human-like senses, especially vision and touch. While tremendous progress has been made in image sensors and computer vision over the past decades, tactile sense abi...

PDC: Pearl Detection with a Counter Based on Deep Learning.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Pearl detection with a counter (PDC) in a noncontact and high-precision manner is a challenging task in the area of commercial production. Additionally, sea pearls are considered to be quite valuable, so the traditional manual counting methods are no...

Neuromorphic Tactile Edge Orientation Classification in an Unsupervised Spiking Neural Network.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dexterous manipulation in robotic hands relies on an accurate sense of artificial touch. Here we investigate neuromorphic tactile sensation with an event-based optical tactile sensor combined with spiking neural networks for edge orientation detectio...

PhotoElasticFinger: Robot Tactile Fingertip Based on Photoelastic Effect.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The sense of touch is fundamental for a one-to-one mapping between the environment and a robot that physically interacts with the environment. Herein, we describe a tactile fingertip design that can robustly detect interaction forces given data colle...

Augmented tactile-perception and haptic-feedback rings as human-machine interfaces aiming for immersive interactions.

Nature communications
Advancements of virtual reality technology pave the way for developing wearable devices to enable somatosensory sensation, which can bring more comprehensive perception and feedback in the metaverse-based virtual society. Here, we propose augmented t...

Cross-Modal Reconstruction for Tactile Signal in Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
A human can infer the magnitude of interaction force solely based on visual information because of prior knowledge in human-robot interaction (HRI). A method of reconstructing tactile information through cross-modal signal processing is proposed in t...

Finger-inspired rigid-soft hybrid tactile sensor with superior sensitivity at high frequency.

Nature communications
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...
