About

Victoria Rose Most is a leading researcher in tactile sensing and robotic manipulation, with a focus on miniaturizing and enhancing artificial touch. Her work bridges the gap between biological haptics and robotic perception, enabling more dexterous and human-like interaction with the environment. Most’s key contributions include the development of a novel fiber optic bundle design that dramatically reduces the size of vision-based tactile sensors, making them suitable for human-sized robotic fingertips—a breakthrough detailed in her highly cited 2024 paper (23 citations). She also co-authored "Digitizing Touch with an Artificial Multimodal Fingertip," which integrates multiple sensing modalities to replicate the richness of human touch, providing robots with detailed information about texture, force, and contact geometry. Her research has significant implications for prosthetics, teleoperation, and autonomous manipulation. With her innovative sensor designs and multimodal approach, Most is shaping the future of tactile robotics, earning recognition for making high-resolution touch sensing practical for real-world applications.
