Abstract
This presentation will give an overview of the trend in the development of embedded intelligence and human-centered robots. It will also focus on our research work on developing tactile sensors for robotic hands with dexterous and versatile capability for grasping and adaptive manipulation. We argue that the manipulation capabilities of human-centered robots are essential for a feasible large-scale deployment of the future technology with a potential of commercial success.
