A Sensorized Multicurved Robot Finger with Data-driven Touch Sensing via Overlapping Light Signals
Pedro Piacenza, Keith Behrman, Benedikt Schifferer +2
Despite significant advances in touch and force transduction, tactile sensing is still far from ubiquitous in robotic manipulation. Existing methods for building touch sensors have…
Data-driven Super-resolution on a Tactile Dome
Pedro Piacenza, Sydney Sherman, Matei Ciocarlie
While tactile sensor technology has made great strides over the past decades, applications in robotic manipulation are limited by aspects such as blind spots, difficult integration…
Accurate Contact Localization and Indentation Depth Prediction With an Optics-based Tactile Sensor
Pedro Piacenza, Weipeng Dang, Emily Hannigan +4
Traditional methods to achieve high localization accuracy with tactile sensors usually use a matrix of miniaturized individual sensors distributed on the area of interest. This app…
Touch Sensors with Overlapping Signals: Concept Investigation on Planar Sensors with Resistive or Optical Transduction
Pedro Piacenza, Emily Hannigan, Clayton Baumgart +8
Traditional methods for achieving high localization accuracy on tactile sensors usually involve a matrix of miniaturized individual sensors distributed on the area of interest. Thi…
Contact Localization through Spatially Overlapping Piezoresistive Signals
Pedro Piacenza, Yuchen Xiao, Steve Park +2
Achieving high spatial resolution in contact sensing for robotic manipulation often comes at the price of increased complexity in fabrication and integration. One traditional appro…
