Visuo-tactile skins (VTSs) are classified into coated-type, marker-type, and thermochromic-type. Coating wear resistance spatial resolution central issues for the coated-type VTS. This article proposes a wire-drawing process applied to VTS enhance coating robustness. The has more stable mechanical properties, including high adhesion, adaptive deformation, rupture resistance. Under different degrees of it can remain continuous undamaged. In addition, nanoscale particle distribution, whose microstructures similar spraying provide micron-scale resolution. Via test, higher than coating. Further, combined with multitask learning model identify textures clothing properties 18 fabrics 98% recognition accuracy. results show that using new highly learnable tactile data.

This paper proposes a vision-based tactile sensor (VBTS) embedded into the soft hand palm, named PaLmTac. We adopt distributed modality design instead of overlaying function layers. On one hand, problem unrelated integration (texture and temperature) is solved. other combining regional recognition can avoid mixed information. Herein, Level-Regional Feature Extraction Network (LRFE-Net) presented to match design. leverage feature mapping, convolution, vectorization construct mechanism, which extract features in parallel control fusion degrees. The level mechanism balances learning difficulty each modality. Compared with existing VBTSs, PaLmTac optimizes reduces interference. provides novel idea multimodal VBTS sensing expected be applied human-computer interaction scenarios based on fusion.
