Tactile sensing can improve end-effector control and grasp quality, especially for free-flying robots where target approach and alignment present particular challenges. However, many current tactile sensing technologies are not suitable for the harsh environment of space. We present a tactile sensor that measures normal and biaxial shear strains in the pads of a gripper using a single optical fibe...
