Flexible manipulators have high degrees of freedom and deformability, enabling dexterous movements and allowing for unexpected contacts with the environment. Underactuated tendon-drive mechanisms are the most widely adopted because of their simplicity and effectiveness. However, they suffer from dif

Tactile Scanning for Detecting Micro Bump by Strain-Sensitive Artificial Skin

Mitsuhito Ando, Ryusuke Tokumine, Toshinobu Takei, Hiromi Mochiyama

RA-L 2021

This letter proposes a scanning tactile sensor that amplifies the signal output of a strain gauge deformed into a wave shape and fixes the position of micro defects. In this study, we realized a thin scanning tactile sensor that is sensitive to micro bumps and can be used as artificial skin. The pro
