Distributed flexible tactile sensor system

International Journal of Applied Electromagnetics and Mechanics, 2003
This paper represents the development of a distributed flexible tactile sensor using PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film. The tactile sensor which has 8 × 8 tactile elements is fabricated using PVDF film and flexible circuitry. Experimental results on static and dynamic characteristics are obtained.

Flexible Tactile Sensors for 3D Force Detection

Nano Letters
As tactile force sensing has become increasingly significant in the field of machine haptics, achieving multidimensional force sensing remains a challenge. We propose a 3D flexible force sensor that consists of an axisymmetric hemispherical protrusion and four equally sized quarter-circle electrodes.

Flexible and capacitive tactile sensor sheet

2014 International Conference on Electronics Packaging (ICEP), 2014
We fabricated a low-cost and flexible capacitive tactile sensor sheet. The sensor sheet consists of a silicone rubber with conductive surface as a movable electrode and fixed electrodes formed on a poly ethylene terephthalate (PET) film with silver paste. We developed the sensor sheet using screen-printing techniques.

Flexible tactile sensors inspired by bio-mechanoreceptors

Biosensors and Bioelectronics
Mechanoreceptors in animals and plants play a crucial role in sensing mechanical stimuli such as touch, motion, stretch, and vibration. Learning from the mechanisms of mechanoreceptors may facilitate the development of bionic tactile sensors, leading to higher sensitivity, spatial resolution, and dynamic ranges.

A flexible and stretchable tactile sensor utilizing static electricity

2007 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2007
The tactile sensor is required for various robots. In humanoid robots, flexibility of the sensor is an important feature for preventing physical damage and for interacting with the human. Moreover, stretchability of the sensor has advantages that the sensor is nonbreakable and that the sensor can be easily mounted on curved surfaces or deformable parts

Development of a flexible tactile sensor system for a humanoid robot

Proceedings 2003 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS 2003) (Cat. No.03CH37453), 2004
The application of robots in the same workspace with humans results, intended or unintended, in direct mechanical interaction. This requires additional sensory abilities of the robots. Besides sensor systems that help the robots to structure their environment, like cameras, radar sensors, etc., a sensor system on the robot's surface is needed that is ...
