We work on fixing this with our new sensor: “Insight” -- it uses a tiny camera and deep learning to enable high-fidelity sensing all-around with normal and shear forces.

I am super proud of the rest of the team @huanbo_sun and Katherine J. Kuchenbecker.
We set out to create a high-fidelity 3D tactile sensor that is robust, cheap, and easy to make.
Here is a 4-min video explaining how it works:

So here are a few details:
The mechanical design is pretty unique: we use a soft elastomer that encloses a rigid thin skeleton.
-> it can withstand strong forces
-> it is very sensitive
-> surface has high friction
