Abstract
Tactile sensors, like vision systems, have been the object of intense research throughout the world. Indeed it is increasingly evident that the limitations suffered by vision systems could be overcome by the cooperative use of tactile sensors and that Robot Multisensory Feedback Systems, comprising at least one 2-D vision system, a rangefinder and a tactile sensor, are a good base for the development of future generations of robots (Ruocco and Seals, 1986).
