General note Tactile sensing in robotics plays a crucial role in enabling precise and safe object manipulation,<br/>particularly when dealing with fragile or delicate items that require accurate force control.<br/>Traditional tactile sensors primarily provide single-point force measurements, which limits<br/>their utility in complex manipulation tasks where distributed contact information is essential.<br/>As robotic systems advance toward more human-like dexterity, the demand for distributed<br/>tactile sensing has increased significantly. Various modalities have been developed for this<br/>purpose, including capacitive, resistive, piezoelectric, and vision-based tactile sensors<br/>(VBTSs). Among these, VBTSs have gained considerable attention due to their unique<br/>advantages, such as high spatial resolution, resistance to hysteresis, immunity to<br/>electromagnetic interference, and the capability to measure distributed forces accurately.<br/>Despite their promising attributes, the development of VBTSs still lacks a structured and<br/>generalized design methodology. This paper addresses that gap by proposing a comprehensive<br/>design framework for the development of a multimodal VBTS system. The proposed sensor<br/>architecture integrates visual and tactile stimuli using an elastic skin embedded with square<br/>fiducial markers, coupled with a depth camera. The core sensing principle relies on tracking<br/>the deformation of these markers under external contact, which allows for accurate estimation<br/>of distributed contact forces. The stiffness of the elastic skin was experimentally characterized,<br/>and this data was utilized to correlate marker displacement with applied forces through<br/>controlled indentation experiments. A prototype sensor was fabricated following the proposed<br/>framework, and experimental validation was conducted by performing object manipulation<br/>tasks. Results demonstrate that the sensor effectively estimates distributed contact forces and<br/>can handle fragile objects with precision. This study contributes a robust methodology for<br/>developing VBTSs and highlights their potential in advancing tactile capabilities in robotic<br/>systems.<br/>
