A task that you have performed countless times before is rendered almost imp ossible due to a lack of tactile feedback. Our extraordinary sense of touc h enables our dexterity. Robots are currently lacking such tactile feedbac k and as such have very limited capabilities with respect to manipulation. In this talk\, we will discuss just what makes human touch so powerful\, how we can build artificial tactile sensors that emulate the human sense o f touch and we will demonstrate the utility of such sensors when integrate d into robotic gripping systems to enable them to pick up and manipulate u nknown objects by applying the optimal grip forces which are determined in real-time.\n\nBio\n\nHeba holds a PhD in Engineering\, B (Software) Engin eering and B Medical Science\, from the University of Sydney. She has appl ied her expertise in biosignal processing\, pattern recognition and machin e learning in complex biomedical problems including epilepsy\, cardiac and autonomic diseases\, malnutrition and human tactile physiology. Since 201 4\, she has been developing tactile sensors for robotic gripping that are inspired by the human sense of touch. She is the CEO and a co-founder of C ontactile – a UNSW Sydney spin-out that is commercialising the PapillArr ay tactile sensor technology that is giving robots a human sense of touch and enabling robotic dexterity.\n\nWebpage: https://contactile.com/\n\nTim e:\n\n1700HRS Sydney Time\n1700HRS Brisbane Time\n\nTime: Apr 7\, 2021 05: 00 PM Canberra\, Melbourne\, Sydney\, Brisbane\nJoin from a PC\, Mac\, iPa d\, iPhone or Android device:\nPlease click this URL to start or join: htt ps://macquarie.zoom.us/j/87504839095\n\nJoin from dial-in phone line:\nDia l: +61 2 8015 2088\nMeeting ID: 875 0483 9095\nInternational numbers avail able: https://macquarie.zoom.us/u/kwmrijlIr\n\nJoin from a H.323/SIP room system:\nDial: SIP:87504839095@zmau.us\nor 103.122.166.55\nMeeting ID: 875 0483 9095\n\nSpeaker(s): Heba Khamis\, \n\nVirtual: https://events.vtools .ieee.org/m/265299 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/265299 ORGANIZER:budhadityamajumdar@gmail.com SEQUENCE:7 SUMMARY:IEEE NSW QLD RAS Joint Industry Talk: Tactile Sensing – An Enable r for Autonomous Robotic Gripping URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/265299 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p><strong>Tactile sensing &ndash\; An Enable r for Autonomous Robotic Gripping</strong><br />Heba Khamis\, CEO and Co-F ounder\, Contactile</p>\n<p><strong>Abstract</strong></p>\n<p>Have you eve r tried to tie your shoelaces when your fingers are numb from the cold?
