Design, Mapping, and Contact Anticipation with 3D-Printed Whole-Body Tactile and Proximity Sensors

Carson Kohlbrenner, Anna Soukhovei, Caleb Escobedo, Nataliya Nechyporenko, Alessandro Roncone

ICRA 2026poster

Robots operating in dynamic and shared environments benefit from anticipating contact before it occurs. We present GenTact-Prox, a fully 3D-printed artificial skin that integrates tactile and proximity sensing for contact detection and anticipation. The artificial skin platform is modular in design,…

GenTact Toolbox: A Computational Design Pipeline to Procedurally Generate Context-Driven 3D Printed Whole-Body Artificial Skins

Carson Kohlbrenner, Caleb Escobedo, S. Sandra Bae, Alexander Dickhans, Alessandro Roncone

ICRA 2025

Developing whole-body tactile skins for robots remains a challenging task, as existing solutions often prioritize modular, one-size-fits-all designs, which, while versatile, fail to account for the robot's specific shape and the unique demands of its operational context. In this work, we introduce G
