Tactile Sensing Techniques That Use Intrinsic Force Sensors

Many types of tactile sensing techniques have been studied by now. This chapter describes the techniques that use intrinsic force sensors. First, classification of tactile sensing is described and the merits and demerits of intrinsic tactile sensing are discussed based on comparisons with other methods. Then, a simple algorithm of intrinsic tactile sensing is described and some extended methods based on the algorithm are discussed.
