Tactile Robotics structures and unifies the information processing of tactile datanot only for extracting object property but also for controller computation. 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.

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 conferencesICRA, IROS, Humanoids.
