Walking on TacTip toes: A tactile sensing foot for walking robots
Elizabeth A. Stone, Nathan F. Lepora, David A. W. Barton
Little research into tactile feet has been done for walking robots despite the benefits such feedback could give when walking on uneven terrain. This paper describes the developmen…
Learning to Live Life on the Edge: Online Learning for Data-Efficient Tactile Contour Following
Elizabeth A. Stone, Nathan F. Lepora, David A. W. Barton
Tactile sensing has been used for a variety of robotic exploration and manipulation tasks but a common constraint is a requirement for a large amount of training data. This paper a…
Shear-invariant Sliding Contact Perception with a Soft Tactile Sensor
Kirsty Aquilina, David A. W. Barton, Nathan F. Lepora
Manipulation tasks often require robots to be continuously in contact with an object. Therefore tactile perception systems need to handle continuous contact data. Shear deformation…
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…
