We are approaching our project by build atop existing soft robotics architectures defined by the Harvard Soft Robotics Toolkit. In selecting this project, our goal is to use this platform to build a basic set of universal experiences which can be applied as modules in future soft robots. In order to do this, we require a well-defined set of subsenses comprising the primary sense of touch, also known as the somatosensory system. According to Wikipedia,
"Although touch (also called tactile perception) is considered one of the five traditional senses, the impression of touch is formed from several modalities including pressure, skin stretch, vibration and temperature."
These criteria of pressure, stretch, vibration, and temperature can serve as the initial bases of our experience set.
