Abstract :
In this paper, the description of a sensorized glove that has been developed to perform experiments in robot-based manipulation of clothes and objects is reported. The glove embeds a capacitive tactile sensing technology that has been designed in the past few years. The glove is used to provide an estimate of the expected tactile feedback related to involved forces and contact areas during common manipulation tasks. This information will be used in order to design a robot gripper for cloth manipulation.
