Transparent Pneumatic Tactile Sensors for Soft Biomedical Robotics.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Palpation is a simple but effective method to distinguish tumors from healthy tissues. The development of miniaturized tactile sensors embedded on endoscopic or robotic devices is key to achieving precise palpation diagnosis and subsequent timely tre...

Resolution enhancement of tongue tactile image based on deconvolution neural network.

Journal of texture studies
To reproduce the tactile perception of multiple contacts on the human tongue surface, it is necessary to use a pressure measurement device with high spatial resolution. However, reducing the size of the array sensing unit and optimizing the lead arra...

A hierarchical sensorimotor control framework for human-in-the-loop robotic hands.

Science robotics
Human manual dexterity relies critically on touch. Robotic and prosthetic hands are much less dexterous and make little use of the many tactile sensors available. We propose a framework modeled on the hierarchical sensorimotor controllers of the nerv...

Behavioural Models of Risk-Taking in Human-Robot Tactile Interactions.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Touch can have a strong effect on interactions between people, and as such, it is expected to be important to the interactions people have with robots. In an earlier work, we showed that the intensity of tactile interaction with a robot can change ho...

Spatial Calibration of Humanoid Robot Flexible Tactile Skin for Human-Robot Interaction.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Recent developments in robotics have enabled humanoid robots to be used in tasks where they have to physically interact with humans, including robot-supported caregiving. This interaction-referred to as physical human-robot interaction (pHRI)-require...

Exploring Tactile Temporal Features for Object Pose Estimation during Robotic Manipulation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
Dexterous robotic manipulation tasks depend on estimating the state of in-hand objects, particularly their orientation. Although cameras have been traditionally used to estimate the object's pose, tactile sensors have recently been studied due to the...

Integrated intelligent tactile system for a humanoid robot.

Science bulletin
Tactile perception is the basis of human motion. Achieving artificial tactility is one of the challenges in the fields of smart robotics and artificial intelligence (AI), because touch emulation relies on high-performance pressure sensor arrays, sign...

Stretchable and All-Directional Strain-Insensitive Electronic Glove for Robotic Skins and Human-Machine Interfacing.

ACS nano
Electronic gloves (e-gloves), with their multifunctional sensing capability, hold a promising application in robotic skin and human-machine interfaces, endowing robots with a human sense of touch. Despite the progress in developing e-gloves by exploi...

Non-equilibrium-Growing Aesthetic Ionic Skin for Fingertip-Like Strain-Undisturbed Tactile Sensation and Texture Recognition.

Advanced materials (Deerfield Beach, Fla.)
Humans use periodically ridged fingertips to precisely perceive the characteristics of objects via ion-based fast- and slow-adaptive mechanotransduction. However, designing artificial ionic skins with fingertip-like tactile capabilities remains chall...

Vibro-Acoustic Sensing of Instrument Interactions as a Potential Source of Texture-Related Information in Robotic Palpation.

Sensors (Basel, Switzerland)
The direct tactile assessment of surface textures during palpation is an essential component of open surgery that is impeded in minimally invasive and robot-assisted surgery. When indirectly palpating with a surgical instrument, the structural vibrat...
