A newly developed multi-axial tactile sensor allows humanoid robots to simultaneously detect normal and shear forces at the point of contact, providing richer tactile feedback during interaction with objects. Designed for integration into robotic fingers and grippers, the sensor features a compact form factor and mechanically robust structure suitable for industrial environments. By accurately measuring contact forces during grasping, sliding, and manipulation, the sensor improves grip stability, slip detection, and adaptive control strategies. These capabilities are essential for achieving precise, safe, and reliable human–robot collaboration in advanced industrial manipulation tasks.
