Foreword

Robotic manipulation and grasping is one of the most challenging problems in the field of robotics. It requires the robot to have the ability to perceive and understand its environment via multimodal sensing and strategies. Compared with visual sensing modality, human’s understanding of the tactile sensing modality remains limited. It is mainly because of the complexity of the tactile signals, the restriction of the tactile perception techniques, and the lack of the available tactile data. Moreover, since tactile sensing is highly coupled with other sensory modalities, investigating its mechanism can largely improve the development of cognitive science. Recently, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence, and especially machine learning techniques, the area of robotics has revealed great advances and potential. I am pleased to see this book by Huaping and Fuchun. To the best of my knowledge, this is the first book for a comprehensive approach to tactile perception using machine lea
