RA-L 2023

This letter proposes a vision-based tactile sensor named TIRgel, leveraging visual integration to simplify the sensing system. First, the sensor achieves conversion of visual and tactile modality via focus adjustment. Under far-focus imaging, the camera can observe external environments; Under near-

Tacchi: A Pluggable and Low Computational Cost Elastomer Deformation Simulator for Optical Tactile Sensors

Zixi Chen, Shixin Zhang, Shan Luo, Fuchun Sun, Bin Fang

RA-L 2023

Simulation is widely applied in robotics research to save time and resources. There have been several works to simulate optical tactile sensors that leverage either a smoothing method or Finite Element Method (FEM). However, elastomer deformation physics is not considered in the former method, where
