The tactile sensor is based on the sensing technology reported in (Cirillo et al., 2021a) but with a smaller form factor. The sensor has 12 sensing points, here called “taxels”, each one constituted ...

Scientists have developed a wearable liquid-based microfluidic tactile sensor that is small, thin, highly flexible and durable. Simple and cost-effective to produce, this novel device is very ...

A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as ...

This article introduces RoTipBot, a novel robotic system for handling thin, flexible objects. Different from previous works that are limited to singulating them using suction cups or soft grippers, ...

Here, we designed a tactile glove equipped with easily accessible sensors, enabling accurate identification of soft objects during grasping. We propose an optimization strategy to eliminate redundant ...

Meta’s Fundamental AI Research (FAIR) team has announced a partnership with sensor manufacturer GelSight and robotics company Wonik Robotics to develop a tactile sensor for robots with AI ...

Facebook researchers propose Digit, a low-cost, high-resolution tactile sensor designed for in-hand robotic grasping tasks.
