Multi-Directional High Resolution Touch Sensor Can Act as a Sensitive Artificial Finger for Robots A team of researchers at UC Berkeley have developed a new multi-directional tactile sensor to be used as a fingertip for robotic manipulation with robotic hands. Named OmniTact, the sensor uses multiple micro-cameras to detect multi-directional deformations of a gel-based skin. This provides a rich signal from which a variety of different contact state variables can be… |
