IntroductionToRobotics-Lecture14 Instructor (Oussama Khatib):Okay. Okay. Let’s get started. So today’s video segment is about tactile sensing. Now, I wonder what is difficult about building tactile sensors; anyone has an idea? So what is the problem with building a tactile sensor? Oh, you used to see the video first, okay. So, yeah. Student:Do you need functions to be able to, I mean, do you need a perturbation to be able to see what you’re touching sometimes? Instructor (Oussama Khatib):Well, yeah, sometimes you, I mean, a human – tactile sensing is amazing. So you have the static information, so if you grab something, now the whole surface is in contact, and you can determine the shape, right? So what does it mean in term of, like, designing a tactile sensor, just if you think about the static case? Student:It’s soft, malleable. Instructor (Oussama Khatib):Well, you need some softness in the thing you are putting. Then you need to take this whole information, what kind of resolution do you need, if you are touching to feel the edge? You need a lot of pixels, right? So how can you take this information and – first of all, how you determine that information; what kind of procedure do you – yes? Student:Well, there’s an element of pressure, like, how hard you’re – the average – how are you touching on all these different things. Instructor (Oussama Khatib):Okay. So you can imagine, maybe, a sort of resistive or capacitive sensor that will deflect a little bit and give you that information. How many of those you would need? You need, sort of, an array, right? So how large, like, let’s say this is the end of factor. I’m trying to see if you did that problem – you’re going to have a lot of information here, and you need to take it back, and you have a lot of wires; you have a matrix, and you’re going to have a lot of, basically, information to transmit. So, the design of tactile sensors being this problem of how we can put enough sensors, and h
