A Study of Recording and Playback of Tactile Information

In order to record tactile data sensed by technicians, we are developing a nail three-axis tactile sensor and a three-axis tactile sensor for robotics. The nail three-axis tactile sensor is for the technician’s finger tip to obtain three-axis tactile feeling applied to the fingertip using deep learning, which learns nail color change images. On the other hand, the three-axis tactile sensor for robotics is for a robotic fingertip to obtain three-axis tactile data, which are derived with image data processing for contact image between skin rubber-sheet and an acrylic core. In this presentation, we will introduce R&D of these tactile sensors and explain the strategy of recording and playback of tactile information.
