About

Codrin Pasca is a leading researcher in intelligent haptic and tactile sensor systems for robotic manipulation, with a career dedicated to advancing the sensory feedback that enables robots to interact with physical objects with human-like precision. His foundational work, "Intelligent Haptic Sensor System for Robotic Manipulation" (2005, 63 citations), addresses the critical challenge of controlling robotic interventions on small devices where noncontact sensors reach resolution limits, pioneering the integration of haptic sensors to refine vision-based information. Pasca’s research centers on developing force-sensing resistor (FSR) arrays—such as the 16×16 matrix detailed in his 2004 paper (20 citations)—to estimate surface orientation and enable dexterous object handling. He further expanded this work into complementary tactile sensing and human interfaces for telemanipulation in interactive haptic virtual environments (2009, 5 citations). His thesis, "Smart Tactile Sensor" (2004, 2 citations), provides a comprehensive foundation for these systems, combining hardware, microcontroller interfaces, and user-friendly graphical tools. Pasca’s contributions are vital for applications in robotic surgery, manufacturing, and teleoperation, where precise tactile feedback is essential.
