Title: Tactile sensation for future robot
Abstract
The artificial labor is necessary in near future due to shrinking the population. The present performance of the industrial robot is far from the human performance. The most distinctive difference on motion between the industrial robot and the human is that the former does not have the ability of contact tasks. The tactile sensation is indispensable for such tasks. The lecture will include the definition of the stimulation signal of touching and how to implement it in the future robot.
