Camera-based tactile sensors provide a convenient and low-cost approach for robot tactile perception. However, existing sensors are customized and only suit limited robots, which retards tactile applications. In this work, we proposed a modular design for camera-based tactile sensor to facilitate their integration on various robot grippers and fingers. Specifically, we disassemble tactile sensors into sense module for sensing surface interaction, receptor module for arranging camera, illumination, and structure elements, and adapter module for connection with robot gripper. Experiments show the proposed sensors can adopt various robot grippers and achieve high tactile perception performance.
