Adaptable Robotic Manipulation Using Tactile Sensors
Explore the challenges and advancements in robotic manipulation through tactile sensing in this 41-minute Stanford seminar presented by Tae Myung Huh from UC Santa Cruz. Delve into the importance of contact condition sensing for bringing robots into everyday life, focusing on two key studies: dexterous manipulation and suction cup grasping. Discover how multimodal tactile sensors enable adaptive robotic control by providing crucial information on contact force, location, and slips. Learn about a novel multimodal tactile sensor for sliding manipulation and a smart suction cup for haptic exploration and grip monitoring. Gain insights into the speaker's research background, including his work on legged robots, gecko adhesive grippers, and compact tactile sensors for industrial applications.
