To obtain two tactile information, that is, static contact force and contact temperature of an object, a tactile sensor using a PVDF film and is proposed. The tactile sensor, which compared with one of the minute sense receptors of the human skin, was experimentally made. The ability of the sensor was investigated under various static forces and thermal stimuli. As experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed tactile sensor was confirmed.I.
1 Honjo-machi, Saga Phone (+81) 952-28-8637, Abstracl -For simultaneous discrimination of material properties, a new multi-functional tactile sensing technique for one tactile sensor which can obtain three tactile information, that is, contact force, temperature change and contact number per one tactile sensor in spite of mono-sensing device is proposed here To the conJrm proposed sensing technique, a pressure-conductive rubber tactile sensor with temperature dependency which compared with one of the minute sense receptor of the human skin was experimentally made The abiliq of the sensor was tested on various contact conditions. As experimental results, the usefulness of the proposed mulri-functional tactile sensing technique was confirmed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
