The tactile sensor provides an accurate estimation of the contact wrench and a tactile map related to the contact geometries. With respect to the old sensor version, the improvements concern: the spatial resolution, increased by exploiting 25 couples of infrared LED and photodetector; the full-scale, become four times higher; the new digitalization technique, introduced in order to reduce the overall wire number and power consumption." }
