Cobots play an essential role in the fourth industrial revolution and automation of complex manufacturing processes. However, cobots still face challenges achieving high precision, which obstructs their usage precise applications such as aerospace industry. Nonetheless, advances perception systems unlock new cobot capabilities. This paper presents a novel multi-functional sensor that combines visual tactile feedback using single optical sensor. The provides vision-based capabilities for normality control exteroceptive robot localization positioning. Its performance is experimentally demonstrated robotic deburring application, where achieves high-precision requirements industry with mean error 0.13° positioning 0.2 mm. These results open paradigm sensing manufacturing, surpasses conventional approaches terms weight, size, cost-effectiveness.
