Discussion on the necessity of resolution in a paper on mechanochromic tactile sensors
1 reports · 1 sources
Reddit r/robotics users discuss a paper on a tactile sensor based on mechanochromic materials: the authors claim the sensor can capture pressure at fingerprint-level resolution and generate color pressure maps. The poster questions whether robots truly need such high tactile resolution, and says they are not a materials specialist and are unsure how the material actually works. The discussion reached no conclusion on the necessity of high-resolution tactile sensing for robots, nor did it verify the material's actual performance.

- Do robots really need extremely high tactile sensing resolution? Discussion sparked by a paper on fingerprint-level pressure sensing based on mechanochromic materials
Reddit users discuss a paper on a tactile sensor based on mechanochromism, whose authors claim the sensor can capture pressure at fingerprint-level resolution and generate color pressure maps. The poster questions whether robots really need such high tactile resolution, and admits they are not a materials specialist and are unsure how the material actually works.
