Giving robots with human sense of touch and humans-skill transfer:
•Tactile Sensors
•Rich feedback, integrability, and customizability
•Multi-modal, modular, and skin-inspired for larger and smaller area
•Robotic Integration
•Corelated with tactile sensors design, hand design and robotic tasks
•Robotic Tasks
•Leverage large amount of tactile feedback
•Imitation learning
