In this paper, we concentrate on the design of a new whole-sensitive robot arm enabling torque measurement in each joint by means of developed optical torque sensors. When the con...
— Skin is an essential component of artificial hands. It enables the use of object affordance for recognition and control, but due to its intrinsic locality and low density of c...
This research is focused on the development of a thermal display and understanding the nature of the thermal cues used to identify objects haptically. The objective of the present...
