RoboTouch Lab

The RoboTouch lab works on helping robots to use touch sensing to interact with real-world environments. We design and build new tactile sensors to extend the perceptual capability of robots, and study how the tactile feedback, either in an active or passive way, could help robots in different perceptual and manipulation tasks. Our research ranges from sensor modeling, sensor design, sensor manufacturing, algorithm design for signal processing, and robot applications such as grasping.
