This repository is a curated collection of resources on tactile sensing and simulation for robotics. It aims to provide researchers and engineers with a comprehensive overview of the field, covering sensors, algorithms, datasets, simulators, and applications in manipulation and grasping. The benefit is a centralized hub for understanding and advancing tactile sensing technologies.

How It Works

The project organizes a vast amount of research papers, products, and software related to tactile sensing. It categorizes these resources by sensor type (vision-based, non-vision-based), application area (manipulation, classification), and supporting tools (simulators, libraries, datasets). This structured approach allows users to quickly navigate and discover relevant information within the rapidly evolving field of tactile sensing.

Quick Start & Requirements

This is a curated list of resources, not a software package. No installation or execution is required.

Highlighted Details

• Extensive bibliography of over 400 research papers, spanning from 1988 to 2025.
• Comprehensive listing of tactile sensing products and associated software/SDKs.
• Categorization of applications, including grasping, material classification, and pose estimation.
• Includes a significant section on simulation tools and libraries for tactile sensing research.

Maintenance & Community

The repository is maintained by linchangyi1. It appears to be a personal curation rather than a community-driven project with active development or discussion forums linked.

Licensing & Compatibility

This repository is a collection of links and information; it does not have its own license. The licensing of the linked papers, software, and datasets would vary by their respective sources.

Limitations & Caveats

As a curated list, the repository's content is dependent on the maintainer's ongoing efforts to update and verify links. There is no direct software to run or test, and the depth of information for each entry can vary.
