The tactile image data are acquired, memorized, and then transferred to a PC by an electronic interface using a PICmicro microcontroller. A user-friendly graphical user interface, integrates all the functions needed to acquire, process, display and save the tactile measurement data. Experiments on a set of 3D geometric symbols illustrate the functionality of the tactile sensor system. Finally, an application of the smart tactile sensor for robotic tactile object recognition is presented.165 p.enEngineering, Electronics and Electrical.Thesis
