Biomimetic Tactile Sensor Array

Advanced Robotics, 2008
The performance of robotic and prosthetic hands in unstructured environments is severely limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the rich tactile feedback of the human ...

A Flexible Force Tactile Sensor Array

2020 10th Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers International Conference on Cyber Technology in Automation, Control, and Intelligent Systems (CYBER), 2020
Array tactile sensors have special importance for human-machine interaction (HMI) and electronic palpation. As an ideal method for biological information detection in HMI or electronic palpation, flexible resistance film sensors have attained extensive attention.

Biomimetics Microfluidic Tactile Sensor Array

ASME 2008 3rd Frontiers in Biomedical Devices Conference, 2008
Tactile sensors are the interfaces to detect the physical properties of objects and have extensive applications in robotic sensing, biomechanics, minimally invasive surgery and human prosthetics [1]. For human prosthetics applications, the current prosthetic hand can offer only the manipulation function.

A novel fiber optic tactile array sensor

Proceedings. 1987 IEEE International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 1987
A new robotic tactile sensor based on fiber optics is described. The sensor array is based on a matrix of optical fibers in perpendicular rows and columns separated by an elastomeric pad. The elastomer provides compliant response to normal force applied to the structure, and the magnitude of the force is measured by a change in transmitted light ...

Soft tactile sensor arrays for micromanipulation

2012 IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems, 2012
Micromanipulation methods used for complicated tasks such as microrobot assembly and microvascular surgery often lack the force reflection and contact localization capability necessary to achieve robust grasps of micro-scale objects without applying excessive forces.

Tactile sensor arrays using fiber Bragg grating sensors

Sensors and Actuators A: Physical, 2006
This paper describes two kinds of 3 × 3 force sensor arrays using fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) and transducers for tactile sensation to detect a distributed normal force. One array is developed for a large area tactile sensor that has good sensitivity but low spatial resolution, similar to human body skin.

Piezoelectric Polymer Transducer Arrays for Flexible Tactile Sensors

IEEE Sensors Journal, 2012
In this paper, we propose a novel technological approach for the implementation of large-area flexible artificial skin based on arrays of piezoelectric polymer transducers. Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) transducers are chosen for the high electromechanical transduction frequency bandwidth (up to 1 kHz). A low-cost and scalable technique for extracting

High-density tactile sensor arrays

Advanced Robotics, 1992
In this paper, several different approaches for high-density tactile sensor arrays are first briefly examined. Among them, a silicon micromachined tactile imager approach is very attractive through achieving high density and good reproducibility, and can be mass produced. Therefore, silicon tactile imagers, including the results of very recent research
