Tactile Robotics structures and unifies the information processing of tactile data-not only for extracting object property but also for controller computation. This book systematically introduces tactile sensors, perception, and control, providing readers with no prior background with a better sense and knowledge of robotics and machine learning, helping to understand the concept of tactile robots and its various related applications for use in real world scenarios.

• Covers basic concepts in robotics and machine learning
• Includes essential knowledge for robotic manipulation tasks when tactile information is required
• Employs numerous applications to illustrate how tactile robotics can be used in real robotic manipulation tasks
• Defines how to structure the knowledge that can be extracted from raw tactile data
