Tactile skin for robots using only a sponge like material, fiber optics, a couple of leds and one central camera. There's no need to make robot tactile input complex and with difficult repair capabilities. Touch cause decrease/increase in the light on the proximity of the point of pressure. Just an old project back from 2011.
That's interesting. So I gather that the camera images the fiber bundle and does some kind of image analysis to determine where the touch is occurring. Correct?
If so, and since this project is from back in 2011, I wonder how a decade's advances in machine learning would improve whatever you're using to analyze the image.
Properly hydrated skin looks plumper and more youthful, and it also helps maintain skin elasticity https://nikolbeauty.com/.
