Active Pre-Touch Sensing: From Biology to Neuromorphic Biomimetic Artifacts
Pre-touch sensing has a larger range than tactile sensing, but shorter than vision. By measuring mutual capacitance, electric field pre-touch sensors can detect local objects if their dielectric properties differ from that of air. When the actively emitted electric field by such a device is …

Investigating pre-touch sensing to predict grip success in compliant grippers using machine learning techniques
This work explores the application of pre-touch sensing to a compliant gripper in order to navigate the last few centimeters while grasping fruit in an occluded, cluttered environment. Machine learning was used in conjunction with pre-touch sensors to provide qualitative feedback about the success …

A Multi-functional Touch Panel for Multi-Dimensional Sensing in Interactive Displays
… (PVDF)/graphene sandwich for three-dimensional touch interactivity. Here, an x-y plane touch is sensed using graphene capacitive elements, while force sensing in the z-direction is by a piezoelectric PVDF/graphene sandwich. By employing different frequency bands for the capacitive- and …

3D from 2D touch
… of sensors now allow users to interact through touch, speech, or using their whole body in 3D space. These new interaction modalities are often referred to as "natural user interfaces" or "NUIs." While 2D NUIs have experienced major success on billions of mobile touch devices sold, 3D NUI …
