Teaching Robots to Use the Sense of Touch | Tactile Sensing, Slip Detection & Robotics Webinar

Watch how tactile sensing is enabling the next level of robotic interaction. In this webinar, PPS explores why robots still struggle with physical interaction, even when vision and motion systems are highly advanced. Reliable manipulation depends not only on movement, but on understanding contact, and that is where most systems still fall short. The session focuses on the role of tactile data in closing this gap. By measuring pressure, force distribution, and contact behaviour, tactile sensing provides the missing layer needed to detect slip, adapt grip, and respond to real-world variability during object interaction. Led by Dr Jae Son, the webinar shows how human interaction can be captured using TactileGlove II and translated into structured data that supports robotic learning and control. This creates a pathway from intuitive human handling to measurable, repeatable input for robotic systems. The recording also demonstrates how distributed sensing across the hand enables a more complete understanding of interaction, supporting more stable manipulation, improved training data, and more reliable system performance. 👉 Learn more about tactile sensing, robotics applications and PPS https://pressureprofile.com/tactile-s... #Robotics #TactileSensing #AI #MachineLearning #HumanMachineInteraction #WearableSensors #PPS
