Abstract
The authors discuss the state of the art in tactile sensing technology and the ability of current sensors to meet the harsh environmental demands of space applications (e.g. the Space Station). The performance of the tactile sensor, both as a stand-alone feedback instrument and in cooperation with visual feedback, is discussed. The authors describe the implementation and perception problems associated with the development of an experimental matrix-type tactile sensor using force-sensitive transducers.<>
