Tactile-Based Robot Centering as a Capability for Dexterous Manipulation
Tactile-Based Robot Centering as a Capability for Dexterous Manipulation
This article explains how tactile sensing allows robots to detect and correct off-center grasps by analyzing force distribution across fingertips. It describes a demonstration using a 2F-85 gripper with TSF-85 tactile sensors, which repositions and regrasps objects to achieve a balanced grip. The method improves grasp stability and reduces the need for reorientation or regrasping.

Implications for data suppliers
RoboSignal interpretation and collection questions, not statements of buyer demand.
- Confirm the required data type and collection setting with the buyer; this source does not establish a complete collection specification.
- Compare the reported units and scope before using these quantities in a budget. Recording hours, sensor-hours and trajectories are different measures.
- Validate demand and acceptance criteria with a buyer before scaling. Publication, popularity and a research result do not establish a purchase commitment.
