Incipient Slip Detection

This 16x16 tactile sensor array is our workhorse for tactile-based robotics research. Providing 256 taxels on a grid of size 8cm x 8cm, we have a spatial resolution of 5mm. The modular design allows to stitch individual modules together to yield a larger tactile-sensitive surface.

DEXMAN

   Roboticists have made huge efforts to mimic the human hand, not only from the form but also from the functionalities. read more »

NeuTouch

The NeuTouch ITN aims at improving artificial tactile systems, by training a new generation of researchers that study how human and animal’s tactile systems work, develop a new type of technology that is based on the same principles, and use this technology for building robots that can help humans in daily tasks and artific

Human grasping forces and positions synergies

Because of the complex anatomy of the human hand, in the absence of external constraints a large number of postures and force combinations can be used to attain a stable grasp.
