Towards a Neuromorphic Tactile Sensing Glove

This paper presents a prototype of a neuromorphic tactile sensing platform configured as a glove demonstrator. The core of the entire system are the tactile sensing and processing chips, which utilize event-driven approaches, thus, mimicking the power-efficient sensing and processing seen in the human somatosensory system and the brain. The compact glove-integrated platform offers essential signal conditioning, power delivery, and data handling to the neuromorphic chips. Powered and interfaced externally through a singular USB cable, this innovative platform paves the way towards demonstrating human-like high-resolution tactile sensing in future robotic and prosthetic applications.
