The field of robotic manipulation is witnessing significant advancements with the development of innovative tactile sensing technologies and sophisticated manipulation strategies. Researchers are focusing on creating robust and adaptable robotic systems that can efficiently interact with and manipulate objects in complex environments. Notable trends include the integration of multi-modal sensing capabilities, such as visuotactile and tactile-diffusion policies, to enhance the accuracy and reliability of robotic manipulation. Furthermore, novel gripper designs and smart tire technologies are being explored to improve the stability and adaptability of wheeled robots and vehicles. Noteworthy papers in this area include the AllTact Fin Ray, which presents a novel compliant gripper design with omni-directional tactile sensing capabilities. The VTire introduces a bimodal visuotactile tire with high-resolution sensing capability, demonstrating impressive accuracy in terrain recognition and tire damage detection. The PolyTouch sensor showcases a robust multi-modal tactile sensor for contact-rich manipulation, highlighting the potential for more reliable and versatile domestic robots.
