As robots move toward more complex environments, imbuing them with a sense of touch similar to humans becomes increasingly important. To fulfill that goal, there has been significant research conducted in the past few decades to develop a tactile sensor that matches human level touch capabilities. R…
Research around tactile sensing for grasp stability prediction in robotic manipulators continues to be popular, however few works are able to achieve a high classification accuracy. Due to simulation complexity, data-driven methods are often forced to rely on experimental data, yielding small, often…
The 2018 IROS Fan Robotic Challenge tasked participants with programming a robot to autonomously open and close a Spanish folding fan, highlighting the obstacles still associated with the dexterous manipulation of objects for robotic systems. Since high DoFs grippers are complex to coordinate and ov…
The growing demand in industry for robots capable of performing a variety of tasks requires an increased capability in robotic grasping. Humans are adept at interacting with novel objects, a skill attributed primarily to tactile feedback in the form of exteroception and proprioception. This paper pr…
