Pretouch sensing is longer range than contact, but shorter range than vision. Our hypothesis is that closed loop feedback based on short range but non-contact measurements can improve the reliability of manipulation. Such feedback may be particularly useful in mobile manipulation and personal robotics: mobility increases the robot’s position uncertainty, which the additional feedback can overcome. In natural human environments in which Personal Robots must function, objects may be moved by people. By the time the hand of a fetching robot reaches the target, it may have moved. For human to robot hand off, the human’s hand will not generally be perfectly stationary, so feedback can help aligh the robot’s hand to the human’s hand. This paper describes a series of experiments with Electric Field Pretouch that begin to explore how pretouch sensing can be used to aid manipulation.
