To continuously improve robotic grasping, we are interested in developing a contactless fingertip-mounted sensor for near-distance ranging and material sensing. Previously, we demonstrated a dual-modal and dual sensing mechanisms (DMDSM) pretouch sensor prototype based on pulse-echo ultrasound and optoacoustics. However, the complex system, the bulky and expensive pulser-receiver, and the omni-dir...
