Impure Tact
ile Sensing Impure tactile sensing (ITS) is a technology that provides high resolution 3D sensing of object properties such as texture, thickness, and compliance. It can be used to identify objects by their texture and shape. ITS is used in several industrial and consumer applications, including robotics and automation, human-machine interaction, inspection and quality control, medical rehabilitation, haptic feedback, and smart phone and consumer electronics. Its importance lies in the fact that it allows users to interact with their environment in a more intuitive way, e.g., feeling the surface of an object to determine its size, shape, and texture. Additionally, ITS can provide feedback to inform users about the environmental conditions, allowing for improved safety and productivity.
