HydroShear: Hydroelastic Shear Simulation for Tactile Sim-to-Real Reinforcement Learning

RSS 2026poster

In this paper, we address the problem of tactile sim-to-real policy transfer for contact-rich tasks. Existing methods primarily focus on vision-based sensors and emphasize image rendering quality while providing overly simplistic models of force and shear. Consequently, these models exhibit a large …

Tactile sensing for gecko-inspired adhesion

IROS 2015poster

Adhesion quality sensing is critical to the performance of any robot that utilizes gecko-inspired dry adhesives for climbing, perching, or grasping. We present a 3-axis tactile sensor designed for this application that demonstrates performance on par with a large commercial load cell while being com…
