Traditional robotic manipulator design methods require extensive, time-consuming, and manual trial and error to produce a viable design. During this process, engineers often spend their time redesigning or reshaping components as they discover better topologies for the robotic manipula-tor. Tactile sensors, while useful, often complicate the design due to their bulky form factor. We propose an int...
