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 and helping users understand the concept of tactile robots and their various 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
Graduate students, researchers, and professional engineers in biomedical engineering, mechanical engineering, robotics, and applied computing, from tactile sensing, machine learning and control domains working in dexterous manipulation tasks

Qiang Li
Dr. Qiang Li received his PhD in Pattern Recognition and Intelligence Systems from Shenyang Institute of Automation(SIA), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) in 2010. He was awarded the stipend from the Honda Research Institute and started his postdoctoral researching at CoR-Lab of Bielefeld University from 2009 to 2012. Currently, he is a Project Investigator of ”DEXMAN” sponsored by Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft(DFG) and working in the neuroinformatics group at Bielefeld University. His research interests include: tactile servoing and recognition, sensory-based robotic dexterous manipulation and robotic calibration and dynamic control. He serves as Associate Editor in International Journal of Humanoid Robotics (Robotics) and Complex & Intelligent Systems (AI) and Associated Editor for top level robotics conferences—ICRA, IROS, Humanoids.
