There is a need to gather rich, real-time tactile information to enhance robotic hand performance during haptic exploration and object manipulation. Measuring shear forces is useful for grasping and manipulating objects; however, there are limited effective shear sensing strategies that are compatible with existing end effectors. Here, we report a bioinspired and flexible, resistive microfluidic… Read more »
