IAS Visiting Fellow Associate Professor Wenbo Ding delivers a seminar on their research -
Electronic skin with tactile perception enables intelligent robots and prostheses to perform dexterous manipulation and natural interaction with the human and surroundings. However, using single tactile sensing mechanism to simultaneously percept geometry features and materials properties remains a challenge due to the bottleneck of signal decoupling. In this talk, I will introduce two major works from my group: (1) Triboelectric enabled material and texture sensing systems (MTSensing) -- a wireless and fully-integrated tactile sensing system that can simultaneously recognize materials and textures based on a single flexible triboelectric sensor; (2) TaTa gripper – a soft jamming gripper based visual-tactile fusion framework for transparent object grasping in complex backgrounds. We believe both methods would have great impacts and potentials in the flexible tactile sensing field.
Arrivals from 11:45 am for a 12:00 noon start. For those joining in-person, lunch will be served from 1:00pm.
This event is hybrid format, please use the required booking button at the bottom of the page to choose either in-person or online attendance.
(Please note that in-person spaces are limited and booking is required, so we can manage numbers for catering and also the space inside International House)
By booking a place at this event, attendees agree to behave in a respectful manner such that everyone feels comfortable contributing as they wish. The IAS reserves the right to eject anyone who does not abide by this policy.
IAS seminars are typically recorded, minus any Q&A sessions at the end, again to encourage contributions. The recordings are then uploaded to our website on a Fellows bio page and/or Programme page, along with our IAS YouTube Channel. If you are not able to attend a seminar live, please do still register as we will email everyone who registered to let them know once the recordings are made available.
