Representing Data in Robotic Tactile Perception -- A Review
Alessandro Albini, Mohsen Kaboli, Giorgio Cannata +1
Robotic tactile perception is a complex process involving several computational steps performed at different levels. Tactile information is shaped by the interplay of robot actions…
Compliant Beaded-String Jamming For Variable Stiffness Anthropomorphic Fingers
Maximilian Westermann, Marco Pontin, Leone Costi +2
Achieving human-like dexterity in robotic grippers remains an open challenge, particularly in ensuring robust manipulation in uncertain environments. Soft robotic hands try to addr…
JAMMit! Monolithic 3D-Printing of a Bead Jamming Soft Pneumatic Arm
Yao Yao, Maximilian Westermann, Marco Pontin +2
3D-printed bellow soft pneumatic arms are widely adopted for their flexible design, ease of fabrication, and large deformation capabilities. However, their low stiffness limits the…
Soft Robot Localization Using Distributed Miniaturized Time-of-Flight Sensors
Giammarco Caroleo, Alessandro Albini, Perla Maiolino
Thanks to their compliance and adaptability, soft robots can be deployed to perform tasks in constrained or complex environments. In these scenarios, spatial awareness of the surro…
Contact modelling and tactile data processing for robot skin
Wojciech Wasko, Alessandro Albini, Perla Maiolino +2
Tactile sensing is a key enabling technology to develop complex behaviours for robots interacting with humans or the environment. This paper discusses computational aspects playing…
