Abstract
AbstractRecent developments in theoretical robotics, sensor technology and fusion, and on‐line processing allow for both anthropomorphic behavior on the part of robots, as well as tactile and environmental intelligence. This article considers the feasibility, use, and applications of dual‐channel tactile information flow. In single‐channel systems, the tactile sensors are exclusively mounted on the robot, whereas in dual‐channel systems both the robot and the environment with which it interacts are supplied with sensors. A test bed is described by which a number of single‐ and dual‐channel experiments are carried out. The focus of the dual channel experiments is on its use as this additional channel of sensory perception and on its potential for application in future robotic systems.
