Improving Sensing Coverage and Compliance of 3D-Printed Artificial Skins Through Multi-Modal Sensing and Soft Materials
Carson Kohlbrenner, Caleb Escobedo, Sayak Ray +5
3D-printed artificial skins are a scalable approach to whole-body tactile and proximity coverage, but prior implementations have been limited to unimodal sensing and rigid material…
Form-Fitting, Large-Area Sensor Mounting for Obstacle Detection
Anna Soukhovei, Carson Kohlbrenner, Caleb Escobedo +3
We introduce a low-cost method for mounting sensors onto robot links for large-area sensing coverage that does not require the sensor's positions or orientations to be calibrated b…
Design, Mapping, and Contact Anticipation with 3D-printed Whole-Body Tactile and Proximity Sensors
Carson Kohlbrenner, Anna Soukhovei, Caleb Escobedo +2
Robots operating in dynamic and shared environments benefit from anticipating contact before it occurs. We present GenTact-Prox, a fully 3D-printed artificial skin that integrates…
Dance2Hesitate: A Multi-Modal Dataset of Dancer-Taught Hesitancy for Understandable Robot Motion
Srikrishna Bangalore Raghu, Anna Soukhovei, Divya Sai Sindhuja Vankineni +2
In human-robot collaboration, a robot's expression of hesitancy is a critical factor that shapes human coordination strategies, attention allocation, and safety-related judgments.…
