Slip detection during object grasping and manipulation plays a vital role in object handling. Visual feedback can help devise a strategy for grasping. However, for robotic systems to attain a proficiency comparable to humans, integrating artificial tactile sensing is increasingly essential, especially in consistently handling unfamiliar objects. We introduce a novel physics-informed, data-driven approach to detect slip continuously for control-oriented tasks. Our work leverages the inhomogeneity of tactile sensor readings during slip events to develop distinct features and formulates slip detection as a classification problem. We test multiple data-driven models on 10 common objects under different loading conditions, textures, and materials to evaluate our approach. The resulting best classification algorithm achieves a high average accuracy of 95.61%. Practical application in dynamic robotic manipulation demonstrates the effectiveness of the proposed real-time slip detection and prevention.

When a voltage is applied to a uniformly aligned nematic liquid crystal, a characteristic texture designated as reverse tilt domain (RTD) appears. The RTD, surrounded by a domain wall, gradually shrinks and finally disappears. The domain wall splits into a pair of disclination lines by increase of the voltage. This work examines the energy dissipation mechanism of annihilation dynamics by ascertaining the phenomenological viscosity Γ based on experimentation. To evaluate Γ, the time dependence of curvature radius R is analyzed using an equation R=At0−t, where A is a fitting parameter. Parameter A decreased linearly with increasing applied voltage and suddenly became constant. Also, Γ was evaluated from A as a function of voltage. When the voltage reaches a critical value, Γ increased sharply to be one order of magnitude greater than that under low voltages. The critical voltage is consistent with the theoretically expected value at which the splitting of domain wall occurs. The transition of Γ is described clearly by localized deformation of the director field.
