In this work, we present a framework for the estimation of scratch intensity in addition to the detection of scratch.

OmniTact: A Multi-Directional High Resolution Touch Sensor

1 code implementation • 16 Mar 2020 • Akhil Padmanabha, Frederik Ebert, Stephen Tian, Roberto Calandra, Chelsea Finn, Sergey Levine

We compare with a state-of-the-art tactile sensor that is only sensitive on one side, as well as a state-of-the-art multi-directional tactile sensor, and find that OmniTact's combination of high-resolution and multi-directional sensing is crucial for reliably inserting the electrical connector and allows for higher accuracy in the state estimation task.
