How Important is a Robot's Sense of Touch?

Do we really need our sense of touch? It's difficult to imagine the world without one. As roboticists, we often have to make a decision whether or not we are going to give our robots a sense of touch. Adding force sensors often increases the system complexity, so it is not a decision to be taken lightly. In this post, we examine what life is like without a sense of touch and how thinking about this can help us to improve our understanding of robot force sensing.
