Design, Modeling, Fabrication and Testing of a Piezoresistive-Based Tactile Sensor for Minimally Invasive Surgery Applications
Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has become a preferred method for surgeons for the last two decades, thanks to its crucial advantages over classical open surgeries. Although MIS has some advantages, it has a few drawbacks. Since MIS technology includes performing surgery through small incisions using long slender tools, one of the main drawbacks of MIS becomes the loss of direct contact with t...
متن کاملPiezoresistive Tactile Sensor Discriminating Multidirectional Forces
Flexible tactile sensors capable of detecting the magnitude and direction of the applied force together are of great interest for application in human-interactive robots, prosthetics, and bionic arms/feet. Human skin contains excellent tactile sensing elements, mechanoreceptors, which detect their assigned tactile stimuli and transduce them into electrical signals. The transduced signals are tr...
متن کاملA Piezoresistive Tactile Sensor - Instrumentation and Measurement, IEEE Transactions on
A piezoresistive strain-gauge sensor, mounted in an array configuration, for the measurement of distributed pressures during robotic grasp applications is investigated. The prototype presented consists of a 16-element test cell connected to an electronic acquisition unit that also provides temperature compensation. The structure of the tactile sensor and its principle of operation are described.
متن کاملAnalysis of Piezoresistive based MEMS Tactile Sensor for Human Skin Heat Condition
The major requirement of implantable biomedical equipment like pacemaker, hearing aid device must have low power consumption and reliability. In order to provide a power to this biomedical equipment’s a new approach is presented in this paper, to extract electric power from heat of the subject or human body. Hereby the surgeries for battery implantation in the subject or human body can be avoid...
متن کاملDesign and Construction of a Novel Tactile Sensor for Measuring Contact-Force, Based on Piezoelectric Effect
In this paper, design and construction of a tactile sensor for measuring contact-force is presented. Mechanism of measuring contact-force in this tactile sensor is based on impedance changing of piezoelectric crystal and voltage of different points in circuit as a result of applying force on the crystal. By considering a specific point in the circuit and recording the changes of its voltage, ma...
