FibTac: a fiber-based pneumatic gripper with embodied tactile sensing

Robots rely on tactile sensing to manipulate objects safely and effectively in complex environments, yet most existing tactile sensors remain limited to planar contact sensing and do not tightly integrate perception with physical manipulation. Inspired by animals that use filamentary appendages such as whiskers for sim...

VTAP Gripper: Synergizing Fingertip Sensing and a Visuo-Tactile Active Palm for Dexterous In-Hand Manipulation

This paper presents a tactile-reactive gripper that integrates a Visuo-Tactile Active Palm (VTAP) and compliant, reconfigurable fingers equipped with tactile array sensors. The design exploits structured finger-palm synergy and multi-modal perception to achieve both robust grasping and fine manipulation. The actuated b...
