This paper describes a framework for representing physical interaction tasks using tactile feedback. Although contact feedback has been widely exploited to control interaction with objects, the direct use of tactile information in designing and representing physical interaction rules has not received comparable attention in the literature. The...

In this paper a framework for representing tactile information in robots is discussed. Control models exploiting tactile sensing are fundamental in social Human-Robot interaction tasks. Difficulties arising in rendering the sense of touch in robots are at different levels: both representation and computational issues must be considered. A...

This paper describes a procedure aimed to integrate tactile sensors into a real robot in order to create a platform suitable for human-robot physical interaction experiments. Furthermore, a framework for human-robot physical interaction based on tactile feedback and prioritized tasks control is presented. The framework has been successfully...

This paper presents the design and development of a novel tactile sensor system for clothes manipulation and perception using industrial grippers. The proposed system consists of a multi-modal tactile sensor and embedded re-programmable interface electronics. The sensing element features a matrix of capacitive pressure sensors, a microphone for...

This paper deals with the problem of estimating the pose of tactile elements (i.e. taxels) composing a robotic skin covering the whole body of a robot. This problem arises when a robot skin technology has to be integrated into an already existing robotic platform. To date, the integration process is done by hand and it is not possible to...
