Our 2016 Research Prize winner was TacTip from @BristolRobotLab. The @tactilerobot team submitted a 3D printed optical tactile sensor that uses a soft silicone rubber tip and an array of pins to provide information on an object’s shape and location. https://t.co/57vyCk8uxg

Farewell to Niels Burnus after a 3 month internship with us. Great work with the #TacWhisker - a 3d-printed biomimetic active tactile whisker array based on our optical tactile fingertip the #TacTip

[Tactile Robotics @tactilerobot]

@benwardcherrier has a new paper in the journal @SoftRobotics_JN on 'The TacTip Family: Soft optical tactile sensors with 3D-printed biomimetic morphologies' https://t.co/QpvJTLuOBA

[Tactile Robotics @tactilerobot]

3 papers in ICRA2018 - well done @kirsty_aquilina for 'Principal components of touch', @LukeCramphorn for 'Voronoi features for tactile sensing' and @PestellNick for 'Dual model tactile perception and exploration'!
