Journal Article
Lu, Z., Zhao, Z., Yue, T., Zhu, X., & Wang, N. (2024). A bio-inspired multi-functional tendon-driven tactile sensor and application in obstacle avoidance using reinforcement learning. IEEE Transactions on Cognitive and Developmental Systems, 16(2), 407 - 415. https://doi.org/10.1109/tcds.2023.3297361

This paper presents a new bio-inspired tactile sensor that is multi-functional and has different sensitivity contact areas. The TacTop area is sensitive and is used for object classification when there is a direct contact. On the other hand, the TacS...
