Advanced Sensors for Intelligent Robotic Systems: Vision, Touch, and Dexterous Manipulation

This Reprint presents recent advances in sensing technologies and perception methods for intelligent robotic systems, with particular emphasis on vision, tactile and force sensing, sensor fusion, and dexterous manipulation. The collected contributions cover developments ranging from novel sensing devices and robust visual perception methods to interaction force estimation, multimodal sensing, robotic manipulation, and sensor informed modeling and control. Together, these studies illustrate how advances in sensing, artificial intelligence, and closed loop control are enabling robots to perceive physical environments more accurately and interact with them more safely and effectively. The Reprint highlights both fundamental sensing technologies and their integration into practical robotic systems, providing useful insights for researchers working in intelligent robotics, robotic perception, human robot interaction, and advanced manipulation.
