Abstract
Robots and machines need a sense of touch for more intelligent operation. Many current tactile sensors used for detailed sensing over a large and continuous area often consume too much power, cannot provide the density of sensing points needed for shape sensing, and are not economical or practical. A pressure sensor based on reflected light intensity, fiber optics and compressible materials can eliminate or reduce many of these problems. The design allows a sensor with a large number of taxels to be implemented at low cost. Two prototypes were designed, built and evaluated. The first prototype included the testing of three sensing points and various materials as integrating chambers. The second prototype included a matrix array of sensing points, and software to measure and record, calibrate and graphically display data.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
