The TC's main objective is to deal with all aspects relevant to robot sensors, both internal and external ones, such as force sensors, tactile sensors, distance sensors, visual sensors, and others, employed in robot motion and navigation control principles, methodologies, and applications. Communication sensors interfacing between man and robot are also included.
