Motivation and Objectives

Tactile sensing technology has achieved tremendous progress in recent decades. Nowadays, advanced tactile sensors are available

    for covering large regions of the robot body (e.g. torso, arms, leg etc) and enabling manipulation with the whole-body

    for robot hands, to enhance dexterous manipulation capabilities

    in wearable devices, to facilitate neuro-scientific and physiological studies to deepen our understanding of sensori-motor control processes

However, the dexterous manipulation skills of robots are still lacking as compared to those of humans. Possible reasons are:

    Available sensors are limited with low temporal and spatial resolution compared to human's mechanoreceptors

    Tactile data processing algorithms need to be improved, via machine learning, to automatically extract significant features

    A generic and robust manipulation control framework incorporating strong sensori-motor feedback loops is still missing

Within this special issue, we will bring together experts from the different domains, including tactile hardware development, robot manipulation and machine learning, to discuss recent progress and remaining challenges in tactile-based robotic manipulation, and to draw a whole-scene picture of tactile perception in manipulation with harmonic mixture of multidisciplinary research. All the submissions for this Special Issue will undergo the regular IJHR review process.
