“…Friction sensing is a subset of tactile sensing, and while valuable review papers on tactile sensors are periodically published in the literature [9,10,[20][21][22][23][24][25][26], this is the first to provide a comprehensive review of tactile sensors in the context of friction and grip security estimation. This review starts with an explanation of human tactile sensing of frictionrelated information (human-like dexterous manipulation is considered the ultimate capability which artificial tactile sensing aims to facilitate); next, the literature on artificial friction-based tactile sensing methods is then covered; finally, our conclusions compare existing competing approaches and make recommendations for future research.…”

“…Review of gross slip, incipient slip, and friction sensors Tactile sensing refers to the transduction of any type of information/signal through physical contact between the sensor and an object. Many tactile sensing techniques have been proposed to improve robotic manipulation, most of which focus on contact force measurement or on slip detection; these have been reviewed in detail in the literature [10,20,21,25,26]. However, most of the existing research has not considered the need to sense the frictional properties of the SOI to maintain a firm grip.…”

“…They present several types of haptic and tactile sensors and their uses in robotics. According to [19], the growth of the use of haptic sensors in robotics has been limited by the lack of a market-oriented driving force and by low-cost, established alternatives. Haptic sensing adds complexity to both hardware and software.…”

A survey of telerobotic surface finishing

This is a survey of research published on the subjects of telerobotics, haptic feedback, and mixed reality applied to surface nishing. The survey especially focuses on how visuo-haptic feedback can be used to improve a grinding process using a remote manipulator or robot. The bene ts of teleoperation and reasons for using haptic feedback are presented. The use of genetic algorithms for optimizing haptic sensing is brie y discussed. Ways of augmenting the operator's vision are described. Visual feedback can be used to nd defects and analyze the quality of the surface resulting from the surface nishing process. Visual cues can also be used to aid a human operator in manipulating a robot precisely and avoiding collisions.

The unique potential of e‐textiles for unobtrusive and ubiquitous monitoring and their innovative interfacing with electronic devices has garnished great attention. Sensors are one of the few essential devices or components necessary for most functional e‐textile applications. Ideally, any e‐textile based sensor should be soft, easily integrated in textile manufacturing processes, and tunable for the desired applications. Here, an easy‐to‐manufacture, tunable, fully‐textile sensor system with capability of detecting pressure, humidity, or wetness is presented. Capacitive pressure sensors are formed via a traditional sewing process with two commercially available conductive sewing yarns (silver‐plated polyamide (silver) and stainless steel (SS)) with cotton knit, polyethylene‐terephthalate (PET) knit and elastomeric meltblown textile dielectrics. The relationship between the sensor's physical, mechanical, and electromechanical properties including hysteresis, sensitivity, response, and relaxation time is evaluated. In addition, the same sensor configuration is assessed for its humidity and wetness sensing performance. Results indicate that pressure, relative humidity (RH), and wetness sensing performance are easily tunable using different combinations of the conductive and dielectric textile materials. Finally, proof of concept deployment demonstrations as human‐machine interfaces within a pressure sensing mat and a smart glove capable of remotely controlling a drone are provided.
