Development of bioinspired tactile sensor
Project Description
Touch is an essential manner for humans to receive information from and interact with the world every second of every day. Developing skin-comparable tactile sensors is extremely essential for the fields of robotics and VR, but remains grant challenge. This project aims at developing bioinspired tactile sensors for robotics. The students will get involved in sensor fabrication, PCB design, data processing by AI, and robotic application.
