Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)-based tactile sensors offer durability, scalability, and cost-effective manufacturing. However, simultaneously reconstructing force and shape from boundary measurements remains challenging due to EIT’s inherent location dependencies and image artifacts. This study presents a model-driven multimodal convolutional neural network (MM-CNN) for joint EIT-based forc...
