Abstract
A value associated with a plurality of measurement objects that are embedded in a material associated with an intermediate layer of a plurality of layers associated with a tactile sensing unit is sensed. The value associated with the plurality of measurement objects is sensed by a sensor that is included a layer below the intermediate layer of the tactile sensing unit. An output of the sensor is used to make a determination associated with engagement of a robotic arm end effector with an item.
