Why carbon fibres can give robots a strong sense of grip

Abstract

Carbon fibre tactile sensors, under development for at least the last five years, produce a resistance change under pressure. They could therefore offer potential as sensors in gripper design as well as other areas in industry where force measurement and slip control are important parameters to monitor.
