— Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. The hypothesis motivating this work is that closed loop feedback based on short range but nonconta...
—This paper proposes the use of Electric Field Sensors to implement “pretouch” for robotic grasping. Weakly electric fish use this perceptual channel, but it has not received...
—This paper presents two experiments with Electric Field Servoing for robotic manipulation. In the first, a robot hand pre-shapes to the geometry and pose of objects to be graspe...
