Abstract
In this chapter we present an introduction to tactile information processing. We begin by describing the technology and presenting some early work; we then discuss in detail our current work in building a robot haptics system; finally, we introduce the concept of shape from touch and briefly describe two systems which incorporate touch with vision to do object recognition.
