Physics-Based Simulation and Machine Learning for the Practical Implementation of EIT-Based Tactile Sensors

This work reports an innovative framework toward the practical implementation of tactile sensors based on electrical impedance tomography. Particularly, we tested our framework on the development of a piezoresistive insole-shaped sensor prototype. Our approach couples the implementation of the forward model through a physics-based general purpose FEM software and an ANN model for the inverse probl...
