Summary:Advanced robot systems require sensory information to enable them to make decisions and to carry out actions in a versatile, autonomous way. Humans make considerable use of information derived through touch, and an emerging domain of robot sensing is tactile sensing. This book considers various aspects of tactile sensing, from sensor hardware design through to the use of tactile data in exploratory situations using a multi-fingered robot hand. Both introductory material and new research results are presented, providing detailed coverage of the subject. Applications from assembly automation to dextrous manipulation are examined, and a particular theme is the relevance of biological touch to robotic tactile sensing. The integration of these topics into a single volume make the book essential reading for all those interested in robotic sensing
