RA-L 2025

Mainstream use of AI has enabled human-like conversations with machines. Despite the perceived naturalness of these interactions, they are limited to 2D screens. Androids offer us an opportunity to explore the third dimension, touch, with a human-centered approach. In this work we developed and eval

Wearable Tactile Sensor Suit for Natural Body Dynamics Extraction: Case Study on Posture Prediction Based on Physical Reservoir Computing

Hidenobu Sumioka, Kohei Nakajima, Kurima Sakai, Takashi Minato, Masahiro Shiomi

IROS 2021poster

We propose a wearable tactile sensor suit, which can be regarded as tactile sensor networks, for monitoring natural body dynamics to be exploited as a computational resource for estimating the posture of a human or robot that wears it. We emulated the periodic motions of a wearer (a human and an and…
