Abstract
Tactile sensing in human beings is a very complex process and when used for object recognition, or object orientation, it is in conjunction with arm and wrist movements, as well as with other sensory systems. The author examines the extent of established knowledge in this field and goes on to assess the likely requirements of robotics, automated assembly and manufacture by way of tactile sensors. Some of the currently known and interesting 'tactile sensor' developments are reviewed.Keywords
