To robustly handle objects, robots must perceive mechanical interactions through touch with sufficient richness. New tactile sensors leverage miniature cameras to provide dense measurements of these interactions, allowing for the extraction of material properties and frictional information. Among th
To gently grasp objects, robots need to balance generating enough friction yet avoiding too much force that could damage the object. In practice, the force regulation is challenging to implement since it requires knowledge of the friction coefficient, which can vary from object to object and even fr…
The only way to perceive a small object held between our fingers is to trust our sense of touch. Touch provides cues about the state of the contact even if its view is occluded by the finger. The interaction between the soft fingers and the surface reveals crucial information, such as the local shap…
