Real-Time Pressure Estimation and Localisation with Optical Tomography-inspired Soft Skin Sensors

Sensing and localising pressure resulting from physical interaction between a robot and its environment is a key requirement in the deployment of soft robots in real-life scenarios. In order to adapt the robot's behaviour in real-time, we argue that sensors must have a high sampling rate. In this paper, we present a novel tactile sensing strategy for soft sensors, based on an imaging technique kno...
