Multi-purpose Tactile Perception Based on Deep Learning in a New Tendon-driven Optical Tactile Sensor

Zhou Zhao,Zhenyu Lu,Zhou Zhao,Zhenyu Lu

In this paper, we create a new tendon-connected multi-functional optical tactile sensor, MechTac, for object perception in the field of view (TacTip) and location of touching points in the blind area of vision (TacSide). In a multi-point touch task, the information of the TacSide and the TacTip are overlapped to commonly affect the distribution of papillae pins on the TacTip. Since the effects of ...
