Vision-based fluid-type tactile sensor for measurements on biological tissues

Abstract: Hardness, dimensions, and location of biological tissues are important parameters for electronic palpation protocols with standardized performance. This study presents a novel fluid-type tactile sensor able to measure size and depth of heterogeneous substances in elastic bodies. The new sensor is very simple and can be easily fabricated. It consists of an image sensor, LED lights, and a touchpad filled with translucent water. The intensity field of the light traveling in the touchpad is analyzed to estimate th… Show more

“…The design of the wireless image sensor node can depend on the specific application. In the case of ensuring energy supply, if the specific application field has higher requirements for data processing capabilities, you can use highperformance processors [13] and other related hardware. For example, SensEye has made some attempts in this regard.…”

“…In many studies, the tactile sensor was intentionally added with a compliant layer similar to the skin. Youngwoo Kim et al designed a fluid-type tactile sensor able to measure the size and depth of heterogeneous substances in elastic bodies that consisted of an image sensor, LED lights, and a touch pad filled with translucent water [10]. The University of Genoa in Italy developed a tactile sensor using piezoelectric conductive rubber as a sensitive material, which consists of 8 × 8 arrays of 64 tactile units.…”

“…In 1991, R. S. Fearing et al [ 8 , 9 ] tried to use a stress/strain distribution model of a flexible skin layer in the contact state to inversely solve the surface curvature based on Hertz contact theory. In 2017, Y. Kim et al [ 10 ] used the flexible surface of the sensor to fit the object, and used the Light Emitting Diode (LED) and Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) image sensor to reconstruct the surface contour of the sensor to measure the curvature. There are some based on other methods such as the 2016 Ran Xu et al [ 11 ] study using fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors to measure the curvature, but was only limited to complete tubular and cylindrical objects.…”
