About

Lindsay Epstein is a robotics researcher whose work focuses on advancing tactile sensing for robotic manipulation and legged locomotion. Her key research areas include sensor design, contact force measurement, and real-time feedback for dynamic robotic tasks. Epstein’s major contributions center on the development of bi-modal hemispherical sensors that simultaneously measure three-axis contact forces and contact angles—a unified solution that addresses a critical gap in robotic physical interaction. Her 2019 and 2020 papers, each garnering 14 citations, introduce novel fingertip sensors capable of detecting both force and contact location, enabling robots to improve dexterity and stability during complex tasks like manipulation and walking. This work is notable for its practical impact on real-time control, allowing robots to adapt to changing environments with greater precision. Epstein’s achievements highlight her role in bridging sensor innovation and robotic performance, making her research essential for students and engineers exploring tactile feedback systems in robotics.
