| contents | Recently, vision-based tactile sensors (VBTSs) have gained popularity in robotics systems. The sensing mechanisms of most VBTSs can be categorised based on the type of tactile features they capture. Each category requires specific structural designs to convert physical contact into optical information. The complex architectures of VBTSs pose challenges for traditional manufacturing techniques in terms of design flexibility, cost-effectiveness, and quality stability. Previous research has shown that monolithic manufacturing using multi-material 3D printing technology can partially address these challenges. This study introduces the CrystalTac family, a series of VBTSs designed with a unique sensing mechanism and fabricated through rapid monolithic manufacturing. Case studies on CrystalTac-type sensors demonstrate their effective performance in tasks involving tactile perception, along with impressive cost-effectiveness and design flexibility. The CrystalTac family aims to highlight the potential of monolithic manufacturing in VBTS development and inspire further research in tactile sensing and manipulation. |
