Hardware Implementation for Triaxial Contact-Force Estimation from Stress Tactile Sensor Arrays: An Efficient Design Approach by María-Luisa Pinto-Salamanca, Wilson-Javier Pérez-Holguín, José A. Hidalgo-López

“…The calculation of force vectors on the proposed hardware required an average time of 58.68 ms, with an estimation error of 12.6% for normal forces and 7.7% for tangential forces on a 10 × 10 taxel tactile sensor array. Some advantages of the developed hardware are that it does not require additional memory elements, achieves a 4× reduction in processing elements compared to a non-sparse implementation, and meets the requirements of being generalizable, scalable, and efficient, allowing an expansion of the applications of normal stress sensors in low-power tactile systems.…”
