Mechanical Behaviour, Contact Pose Estimation, and Finite Element Analysis of Vision Based Tactile Sensors Fabricated by Molding and Direct Ink Writing: A Comparative Study

Abstract

Direct Ink Writing

In article number 2400630, Yarjan Abdul Samad and co-workers use direct ink writing to fabricate an additively manufactured vision based tactile sensor, which cuts down the fabrication time, allows more control of the design, and reduces the feature complexities. The mechanical characteristics of the DIW sensor, robotic normality estimation, and finite element analysis are at par with those of molded Ecoflex, hence providing a fast, scaleable method to produce such sensors.
