arXiv:2611.07779v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tactile sensing provides information about object properties that can improve robotic grasping and manipulation. However, accurate object recognition during the early stages of grasping remains challenging, particularly under strict real-time constraints. This study presents a flexible, distributed piezoelectric tactile sensing system for early-stage object recognition.
