Sensing Surfaces with GelSight

This video demonstrates GelSight's ability to reveal the detailed structure of a surface.

Microgeometry Capture using GelSight

This video demonstrates our current prototypes and their resolution capabilities. This work was published in our SIGGRAPH 2011 paper Microgeometry Capture using an Elastomeric Sensor.

Introducing GelSight

This is our first video on GelSight, created in 2009 for SIGGRAPH Emerging Technologies. It provides a good overview of the technology, though many of the technical details have since been improved, as we describe in the videos above.

Exploring the Potential of GelSight

This is video demonstrates the sensitivity and resolution ranges that can be achieved with various GelSight sensors.

Publications

We have published two papers on the core technology behind GelSight:

• Microgeometry Capture using an Elastomeric Sensor, SIGGRAPH 2011
• Retrographic Sensing for the Measurement of Surface Texture and Shape, CVPR 2009
