Bridging biological and artificial tactile sensing via SimTac: a simulator for modeling biomorphic-vision-based tactile sensors.

Caption

(A) Compared with conventional flat-shaped tactile sensors, biomorphically inspired tactile sensors exhibit enhanced geometric complexity and an extended sensing range, which imposes increased challenges for simulation modeling. (B) The simulation framework of SimTac. The input includes the sensor shape, marker pattern, optical system definition, and material properties. The output consists of optical responses and mechanical responses.
