Abstract :
Describes several special application robotic systems developed by Southwest Research Institute over the last ten years which use sensors of various types to interact with a workpiece. The touch sensing and control techniques are representative of relatively simple approaches for obtaining tactile information from an end effector for robot and end effector control. Included with each description are notes regarding "lessons learned" during the development, deployment, and use of each of these robotic systems
