AcousTac: Tactile Sensing with Acoustic Resonance for Electronics-Free Soft Skin.

Soft robotics
Sound is a rich information medium that transmits through air; people communicate through speech and can even discern material through tapping and listening. To capture frequencies in the human hearing range, commercial microphones typically have a s...

Semi-autonomous touch method merging robot's autonomous touch and user-operated touch for improving user experience in robot touch.

Scientific reports
The demand for therapeutic robots to alleviate mental health problems is growing. Studies have shown that people's mental health improves when they are touched. Consequently, therapeutic robots are designed to alleviate stress through robot's autonom...

Quantitative softness and texture bimodal haptic sensors for robotic clinical feature identification and intelligent picking.

Science advances
Replicating human somatosensory networks in robots is crucial for dexterous manipulation, ensuring the appropriate grasping force for objects of varying softness and textures. Despite advances in artificial haptic sensing for object recognition, accu...

A tactile sensing system capable of recognizing objects based on bioinspired self-sensing soft pneumatic actuator.

Bioinspiration & biomimetics
Tactile sensors play an important role when robots perform contact tasks, such as physical information collection, force or displacement control to avoid collision. For these manipulations, excessive contact may cause damage while poor contact cause ...

Beyond algorithms: The human touch machine-generated titles for enhancing click-through rates on social media.

PloS one
Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to revolutionize various domains by automating language-driven tasks. This study evaluates the effectiveness of an AI-assisted methodology, called the "POP Title AI Five-Step Optimization Method," in opt...

A Skin-Inspired High-Performance Tactile Sensor for Accurate Recognition of Object Softness.

ACS nano
High-performance tactile sensors with skin-sensing properties are crucial for intelligent perception in next-generation smart devices. However, previous studies have mainly focused on the sensitivity and response range of tactile sensation while negl...

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...

Real-time haptic characterisation of Hunt-Crossley model based on radial basis function neural network for contact environment.

Journal of the mechanical behavior of biomedical materials
Dynamic soft tissue characterisation is an important element in robotic minimally invasive surgery. This paper presents a novel method by combining neural network with recursive least square (RLS) estimation for dynamic soft tissue characterisation b...

A Suspended, 3D Morphing Sensory System for Robots to Feel and Protect.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Artificial sensory systems with synergistic touch and pain perception hold substantial promise for environment interaction and human-robot communication. However, the realization of biological skin-like functional integration of sensors with sensitiv...

Grasping objects with the aid of haptics.

Science robotics
A smart suction cup uses haptics to supplement vision for exploration of objects in a grasping task.
