DT-Transformer: A Text-Tactile Fusion Network for Object Recognition.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Humans rely on multiple senses to understand their surroundings, and so do robots. Current research in haptic object classification focuses on visual-haptic methods, but faces limitations in performance and dataset size. Unlike images, text does not ...

Object Recognition Using Shape and Texture Tactile Information: A Fusion Network Based on Data Augmentation and Attention Mechanism.

IEEE transactions on haptics
Currently, most tactile-based object recognition algorithms focus on single shape or texture recognition. However, these single attribute-based recognition methods perform poorly when dealing with objects with similar shape or texture characteristics...

Advanced science (Weinheim, Baden-Wurttemberg, Germany)
With substantial advances in materials science and electronics, flexible tactile sensors have emerged as a promising sector with extensive applications, notably in human-machine interactions. However, achieving large-area sensing with few sensing uni...

Soft robotic hand with tactile palm-finger coordination.

Nature communications
Soft robotic hands with integrated sensing capabilities hold great potential for interactive operations. Previous work has typically focused on integrating sensors with fingers. The palm, as a large and crucial contact region providing mechanical sup...

Differential effects of robot's touch on perceived emotions and the feeling of Kawaii in adults and seniors.

Scientific reports
Using social robots is a promising approach for supporting senior citizens in the context of super-aging societies. The essential design factors for achieving socially acceptable robots include effective emotional expressions and cuteness. Past studi...

Bioinspired Super-Robust Conductive Hydrogels for Machine Learning-Assisted Tactile Perception System.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Conductive hydrogels have attracted significant attention due to exceptional flexibility, electrochemical property, and biocompatibility. However, the low mechanical strength can compromise their stability under high stress, making the material susce...

Haptiknit: Distributed stiffness knitting for wearable haptics.

Science robotics
Haptic devices typically rely on rigid actuators and bulky power supply systems, limiting wearability. Soft materials improve comfort, but careful distribution of stiffness is required to ground actuation forces and enable load transfer to the skin. ...

Improving the Performance of Electrotactile Brain-Computer Interface Using Machine Learning Methods on Multi-Channel Features of Somatosensory Event-Related Potentials.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Traditional tactile brain-computer interfaces (BCIs), particularly those based on steady-state somatosensory-evoked potentials, face challenges such as lower accuracy, reduced bit rates, and the need for spatially distant stimulation points. In contr...

Sustainable Silk Fibroin Ionic Touch Screens for Flexible Biodegradable Electronics with Integrated AI and IoT Functionality.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
The increasing prevalence of electronic devices has led to a significant rise in electronic waste (e-waste), necessitating the development of sustainable materials for flexible electronics. In this study, silk fibroin ionic touch screen (SFITS) is in...

Development of a visuo-tactile sensor for non-destructive peach firmness and contact force measurement suitable for robotic arm applications.

Food chemistry
Precise measurement of firmness was crucial for determining optimal harvesting times, implementing rational storage strategies and minimizing avoidable waste. Current technologies for assessing peach firmness struggled to balance high precision and n...
