The sense of touch plays an important role in our life lives from perceiving the environment, grasping and manipulating objects to identifying, learning about and interacting with them. Compensating for the lack of touch with other human senses is difficult. For robotic systems that interact with dynamic environments and objects where, it is crucial to identify objects via their physical properties (such as surface texture, stiffness, a center of mass, and thermal conductivity) and to be able to safely operating them. However, these are difficult to achieve even With advanced vision techniques, which are often marred by occlusion, poor lighting situations, and a lack of precision. As an alternative, tactile sensing can simultaneously provide rich and direct feedback to the robotic systems. Moreover,The robots with the sense of touch need to learn continuously and efficiently from tactile experience and update their models of the objects and environment (Tactile Transfer knowledge). This tactile learning strategy keeps a robot stable and adaptable to respond to new stimuli receiving from the surrounding .

Submission Guidelines
We welcome submissions regarding any robotics application where tactile sensing modalities are used. As we aim to encourage meaningful discussion in the tactile perception and learning domain, work that is unpublished, recently published or under review can be accepted for presentation depending on the novelty, significance and contributions of the work to the workshop theme.
We solicit contributions in the form of extended abstracts (min 2 pages, max 4 pages) in IEEE paper format (author information available here), to be presented at the workshop as posters. Outstanding contributions will be selected for oral presentations.
Accepted papers and eventual supplementary material will be made available on the workshop website. However, this does not constitute an archival publication and no formal workshop proceedings will be made available, meaning contributors are free to publish their work in archival journals or conference.
