... object and robot gripper. Predictive models have been used to develop a set of rules which predict the pre‐slip based on fluctuations in tactile signal data. Findings The tactile sensors can be used in a “nonlinear” manner during manipulation tasks. When the gripper finger first makes contact...

...Guido Bugmann; Zengxi Pan; Zhenqi Zhu Purpose This paper aims to design a new full‐body tactile sensor which is essential for the application of personal service robot similar to human skin. Design/methodology/approach The largest difficulty for designing a full‐body tactile sensor is the huge...
