Although the grasping state analysis is vital in the study of manipulators, the grasping state analysis of soft manipulators as an independent research topic is not much so far. This paper proposes a novel pneumatic soft manipulator with a flexible tactile sensor array (SM-FTSA). The flexible tactile sensor array comprises piezoresistive materials with a porous structure. An equal potential approa...
