| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We developed tactile sensors based on capacitive and Hall effect sensing, and implemented them in robot hands. The main novelty is that the skin sensors enable 3-axis force sensing (x,y,z force) in a small and soft form factor. Moreover, capacitive 6-axis force-torque sensors were implemented. All sensors require a minimum number of wires for ease of integration. Furthermore, we performed research on in-hand manipulation.
