CapTac: Robust Capacitive Sensing for Distributed Force Mapping in Parallel Robotic Grasping

Serkan Ergun, Rishabh B. Mishra, Narendiran Anandan, Tobias Mitterer, Virgilio Mattoli, Hubert Zangl

RA-L 2026

For reliably grasping sensitive and delicate objects, measuring the distribution of normal and shear forces across contact areas is crucial-particularly for slip detection and preventing damage of delicate objects. This necessitates sensors that are easily integrated into robotic fingers (small form

Circumnutations as a penetration strategy in a plant-root-inspired robot

Emanuela Del Dottore, Alessio Mondini, Ali Sadeghi, Virgilio Mattoli, Barbara Mazzolai

ICRA 2016

In this paper, we present a study on peculiar plant root movements, named circumnutations, adopted by plants as an efficient strategy to penetrate the soil and implemented in robotic roots to improve their performance in exploration tasks. The robotic root is able to bend and interact with soil owin
