A Virtual 2D Tactile Array for Soft Actuators Using Acoustic Sensing
Vincent Wall,Oliver Brock,Vincent Wall,Oliver Brock
We create a virtual 2D tactile array for soft pneumatic actuators using embedded audio components. We detect contact-specific changes in sound modulation to infer tactile information. We evaluate different sound representations and learning methods to detect even small contact variations. We demonstrate the acoustic tactile sensor array by the example of a PneuFlex actuator and use a Braille displ...
