This project investigates high-resolution skin deformation cues essential for intuitive dexterous task performance, guiding the development of multimodal haptic interfaces that convey contact and slip cues with the necessary temporal and spatial resolution. The outcomes will enhance robot teleoperation and supervision, inform sensor design for robotic hands, and advance haptic display technology—ultimately improving robotic dexterity and usability in real-world applications.
