Robotics is exponentially advancing towards horizons that were unthinkable until a few years ago. Over the past half-century, significant efforts have been made on the instrumentation of robotic hands and haptic devices. However, the integration of tactile perception and closed-loop algorithms for effective control of robotic end-effectors is still quite limited. The lack of such capabilities hinders robots from fully leveraging the potentiality of touch-based interactions with their surroundings and with human operators, reducing their adaptability and precision in complex tasks. The primary objective of this Special Issue on Frontiers in Robotics and AI is to collect the most original contribution to the state of the art of tactile perception applied to the control of robotic end-effectors. Such contributions must hold the potential to enable advancements in robotic manipulation, human-robot interactions and other applications where the sense of touch plays a pivotal role. Authors are encouraged to submit both original research and review articles focusing on the following topics, but not limited to: - Tactile sensing in robotic hands and prostheses - Tactile sensing in industrial robotic grippers - Tactile sensing in soft robotic end-effectors - Haptic interfaces for robot control - Real-time algorithms for tactile data processing - Closed-loop control for robot manipulation - Tactile perception in robot teleoperation Topic Editors of this Special Issue are Rocco Antonio Romeo, Clemente Lauretti and Joao Bimbo. https://lnkd.in/dc8Ngu9Y

Title: "The Rise of Robotics: Transforming Industries and Shaping the Future" In recent years, robotics has emerged as a transformative force, revolutionizing various industries and reshaping the way we live and work. From manufacturing to healthcare, robotics is making significant strides, enhancing efficiency, precision, and even contributing to the development of entirely new fields. 1.
