We present a tactile-sensorized Fin-Ray finger that enables simultaneous detection of contact location and indentation depth through an indirect sensing approach. A hinge mechanism is integrated between the soft Fin-Ray structure and a rigid sensing module, allowing deformation and translation infor
Humans can easily manipulate soft, deformable objects, relying on the intrinsic deformability of their fingerpads and their capabilities to infer item compliance. Transferring these skills into robotic systems is still an open challenging task. Recently, the introduction of soft biomimetic tactile s
In this study, we introduce a new soft biomimetic optical tactile sensor based on mimicking the interlocking structure of the epidermal-dermal boundary: the BioTacTip. The primary sensing unit comprises a sharp white tip surrounded by four black cover tips that when subjected to an external force em
