The sense of touch is of utmost importance in the field of robotics since a well-performing robot must be able to interact with objects in its environments. It is also important as it supports, and sometimes substitutes, the visual modality during recognition of objects. This paper presents the activation of a sense of touch in robots using an optoelectronic prosthesis and all sensors that are integrated within the body of the robots, so they can actually detect forces being transmitted through the thickness of the robot.
