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 …
