Exploiting Symmetry to Generalize Biomimetic Touch

We introduce a method for generalizing tactile features across different orientations and locations, inspired by recent studies demonstrating tactile generalization in humans. This method is applied to two 3d-printed bioinspired optical tactile sensors. I
