Advanced tactile sensing for robotics / edited by Howard R. Nicholls

Information About

This book considers various aspects of tactile sensing, from sensor hardware design to the use of tactile data in exploratory situations using a multi-fingered robot hand. Advanced robot systems require sensory information to enable them to make decisions and to carry out actions in a versatile, autonomous way. Humans make considerable use of information derived through touch, and an emerging domain of robot sensing is tactile sensing.
