Abstract :
Human-interactive robots, such as those used for nursing, which share humans´ environments and interact with them, should be covered with soft areal tactile sensors for safety and dexterous manipulation. We report the successful development of the tactile sensor system of our human-interactive robot named RI-MAN, which can lift up a dummy human.
