This paper presents a novel acoustic soft tactile (AST) skin technology operating with sound waves. In this innovative approach, the sound waves generated by a speaker travel in channels embedded in a soft membrane and get modulated due to a deformation of the channel when pressed by an external for…
This letter introduces a novel Soft Acoustic Curvature (SAC) sensor. SAC incorporates integrated audio components and features an acoustic channel within a flexible structure. A reference acoustic wave, generated by a speaker at one end of the channel, propagates and is received by a microphone at t
Robotic technology is increasingly considered the major mean for fruit picking. However, picking fruits in a dense cluster imposes a challenging research question in terms of motion/path planning as conventional planning approaches may not find collision-free movements for the robot to reach-and-pic…
