Tactile Robotics

Tactile Robotics by Qiang Li unlocks the next frontier in robotic perception — touch. This compelling, expertly written guide draws you into the world where sensors meet control, and delicate manipulation becomes repeatable, reliable, and intelligent.

From the first page, readers are drawn to practical explanations of tactile sensing, sensor design, signal processing, and the machine‑learning techniques that turn raw data into meaningful decisions. Qiang Li balances clear theory with real‑world examples, showing how soft sensors, arrayed fingertips, and force‑feedback loops are engineered and deployed across industrial automation, medical robotics, and consumer devices. Step‑by‑step illustrations and annotated algorithms make advanced concepts accessible for students, engineers, and researchers alike.

Imagine robotic grippers that handle fragile goods in a Shenzhen factory, prosthetic hands tuned for life in Boston clinics, or collaborative robots safely working alongside human teams in European and Asian warehouses — this book shows how to get there. Coverage includes sensor calibration, tactile feature extraction, control strategies for slip prevention, and integration with vision and proprioception systems, making it an invaluable reference for practitioners aiming to bridge hardware and AI.

Whether you’re a graduate student building a thesis, a robotics engineer refining a product, or a technical manager mapping future investments, Qiang Li’s balanced mix of rigor and practicality will sharpen your approach to tactile problems. Clear summaries, implementation tips, and future research directions help you apply lessons immediately and plan long‑term innovations.
