We developed a touch-perception-specific optical system with a wide field of view ... for capturing omnidirectional deformations on the fingertip surface. Additionally, we equipped the sensor with many sensing modalities, since each touch interaction with the environment has a unique profile produced by the mechanical, geometrical, and chemical properties of a surface to perceive vibrations, sense heat, and even smell odor.
Allegro Hand is poised to help advance robotics research by making it easier for researchers to conduct experiments. By leveraging such multimodal signals, [these devices] will help scientists advance research into AI that can learn about the world in richer detail.
