A Learning-Free Characterization Framework for the Resilience and Sensitivity of Polyurethane Vision-Based Tactile Sensors
This study compared polyurethane and silicone vision-based tactile sensors to test their durability and sensitivity. Polyurethane proved more resilient against wear from compression, shear, and abrasion across various loads. While silicone was better for low-force precision, polyurethane offered consistent performance in rugged environments requiring high reliability under high loads.
