We present a novel robot end-effector for gripping and haptic exploration. Tactile sensing through suction flow monitoring is achieved with a new suction cup design that contains multiple chambers for air flow. Each chamber connects with its own remote pressure transducer, which enables both absolute and differential pressure measures between chambers. By changing the overall vacuum applied to thi...
