This work discusses three tactile sensor systems developed by the authors to capture interaction patterns of humans and anthropomorphic robots. The rst, tacTiles, is a exible blanket with embedded force sensors, facilitating rapid augmentation of the environment with a sense of touch and is targeted towards cognitive rooms and ambient intelligence. The second, Myrmex, is a modular 2D high-speed tactile pattern camera with USB-Video-Class interface, allowing computer vision algorithms to work on tactile data in a plug and-play fashion. Finally, intelligent Object (iObject), is a wireless instrumented tool equipped with tactile and motion capture sensors for evaluating human or robotic grasping and manipulation.
