Soft, round, high resolution tactile fingertip sensors for dexterous robotic manipulation

In this work we introduce a non-planar soft high-resolution tactile sensor. An iteration of the GelSight sensors, it enables future GelSights to have more complicated form factors, such as a humanoid fingertip. To do this we introduce a novel method for achieving directional lighting along the entir...
