Hi,

as far as I can tell, there is no touch-sensor related message in sensor_msgs, and the one used by things such as the PR2 fingertip pressure sensors live in robot- or sensor-specific packages (pr2_msgs/PressureState and fingertip_pressure/PressureInfo in this case).

Would there be interest in defining robot-independent message types here?

+1 Seems reasonable.

The https://groups.google.com/group/ros-sig-drivers mailing list would be a reasonable place to do the actual work.
