Tactile Sensing and Control in Humans and Robotic/Teleoperated Systems
Abstract
Over the last several years, a number of sophisticated robot hands have been developed for laboratory use. However, while such hands approximate the mechanical complexity of human hands, their application in manipulation tasks remains in a primitive stage. Unlike human hands, they rely on minutely programmed task descriptions that are time-consuming to generate and susceptible to unanticipated changes in the task or the immediate environment. This is largely because they cannot use tactile information to detect and respond to changes in an event-driven fashion as humans do. Similarly, teleoperated manipulation systems are slow and difficult to use because the operator does not receive appropriate tactile feedback from the manipulator
