Haptic perception robots are systems designed to sense, interpret, and respond to tactile information in a manner similar to human touch, enabling interaction with their physical environment. As the sense of touch becomes increasingly important for autonomous robots, haptic perception is evolving rapidly, enhancing capabilities in areas like object manipulation, human-robot interaction, and performing delicate tasks in unstructured settings. This collection aims to gather cutting-edge research on the technologies and applications driving advancements in haptic perception robots.
