We have just received another world first at CRRC. Our collaborators at the Italian Institute of Technology (IIT) have generously provided us with a touch sensitive fingertip. The fingertip is the same model that is used on the iCub robot, but was delivered as a stand-alone prototype. We have integrated it on one of our Nao robots, producing the first ever Nao robot with a touch sensitive finger. This combo will be crucial in completing our work on tactile gesture production for the ROBOSKIN project.
