Abstract

A human-like touch and feel ability is still a major challenge yet to be solved in order to accelerate robot's transition from performing routine, preplanned, tasks in structured industrial environments to creatively performing tasks in unstructured environments such as nuclear stations, war zones, underwater, outer space, healthand elder-care, or telemedicine. Due to those unsolved challenges encountered in the development of a truly human-like touch sensing and perception capability for humanoid robot hands, considerable effort is still required before achieving the point of replicating the human hand's abilities by a multi-finger robot hand able to efficiently carry on dexterous robotic manipulation operations. All these challenges provide a strong incentive for using the bio-inspired approaches to develop efficient static and dynamic touch sensing technologies for the new generation of humanoid robots.
