Abstract
Systems and methods relating to tactile dexterity and control are disclosed. In one embodiment, a method of manipulating an object based on tactile sensing includes sensing an object by receiving signals from a tactile sensor of an end effector of a robotic system in contact with the object, controlling a contact state by operating the end effector to enforce a desired contact condition between the end effector and the object, estimating a pose of the object based on the received signals, and planning at least one trajectory of the object based on the estimated pose of the object and a desired pose of the object.
