SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING TACTILE SENSOR CALIBRATION

A system and method for providing tactile sensor calibration that include receiving force data from a force/torque sensor and tactile data from a plurality of taxels of a tactile sensor pad. The system and method also include interpolating the force data and the tactile data and pre-processing the interpolated data to align the force data and the tactile data to match data points. The system and method additionally include dividing the matched data points into individual interactions and computing a linear regression for each segment that is associated with each interaction. The system and method further include determining an amount of force that is absorbed by the tactile sensor pad based on a conversion of tactile measurements sensed by the plurality of taxels into Newtons based on the linear regression computed for each segment.
