From pixels to percepts: Highly robust edge perception and contour following using deep learning and an optical biomimetic tactile sensor
Nathan F. Lepora, Alex Church, Conrad De Kerckhove +2
Deep learning has the potential to have the impact on robot touch that it has had on robot vision. Optical tactile sensors act as a bridge between the subjects by allowing techniqu…
TacWhiskers: Biomimetic optical tactile whiskered robots
Nathan F. Lepora, Martin Pearson, Luke Cramphorn
Here we propose and investigate a novel vibrissal tactile sensor - the TacWhisker array - based on modifying a 3D-printed optical cutaneous (fingertip) tactile sensor - the TacTip.…
Principal Components of Touch
Kirsty Aquilina, David A. W. Barton, Nathan F. Lepora
Our human sense of touch enables us to manipulate our surroundings; therefore, complex robotic manipulation will require artificial tactile sensing. Typically tactile sensor arrays…
Voronoi Features for Tactile Sensing: Direct Inference of Pressure, Shear, and Contact Locations
Luke Cramphorn, John Lloyd, Nathan F. Lepora
There are a wide range of features that tactile contact provides, each with different aspects of information that can be used for object grasping, manipulation, and perception. In…
