SUMMARY This paper describes a novel tactile sensor array designed to provide information about the material constitution and shape of objects held by a robot manipulator. The sensor is modeled on the thermal touch sense which enables humans to distinguish between different materials based on how warm or cold they feel. Some results are presented and methods of analysing the sensor data are discussed.
