1. Adaptive Grasping Using Tactile Sensing
Abstract : Grasping novel objects is challenging because of incomplete object data and because of uncertainties inherent in real world applications. To robustly perform grasps on previously unseen objects, feedback from touch is essential. In our research, we study how information from touch sensors can be used to improve grasping novel objects.

3. Sensing the environment : development of monitoring aids for persons with profound deafness or deafblindness
Abstract : Earlier studies of persons with deafness (D) and/or deafblindness (DB) have primarily focused on the mobility and communication problems. The purpose of the present study was to develop technology for monitoring aids to improve the ability of persons with D and/or DB to detect, identify, and perceive direction of events that produce sounds in their surroundings.

4. Tactile Perception - Role of Physical Properties
Abstract : The aim of this thesis is to interconnect human tactile perception with various physical properties of materials. Tactile perception necessitates contact and relative motion between the skin and the surfaces of interest. READ MORE

5. Learning to Assess Grasp Stability from Vision, Touch and Proprioception
Abstract : Grasping and manipulation of objects is an integral part of a robot’s physical interaction with the environment. In order to cope with real-world situations, sensor based grasping of objects and grasp stability estimation is an important skill. READ MORE
