Design and Construction of a New Capacitive Tactile Sensor for Measuring Normal Tactile Force

This paper presents the design, construction and testing of a new capacitive tactile sensor for measurement of normal tactile force. The operation of proposed sensor has been investigated in ASTABLE and MONOSTABLE circuits. According to the results of these circuits the deviation of ASTABLE circuit results is less than MONOSTABLE circuit results. In addition, the results obtained from ASTABLE c...

Hybrid Tactile Sensing: Turning Garbage Bags into Tactile Sensors

In this paper, we introduce a new touch sensor design, which we refer to as hybrid tactile sensing. Hybrid tac-tile sensing combines the simplicity of analog touch sensing , which is widely used in electronic touch screens and touchpads, with the ability of shape discrimination of the array touch sensing, found in tactile sensors designed for robotics applications. We describe the construction ...

Three-axis Tactile Sensor

Polymer micromachined multimodal tactile sensors

We present the design, fabrication process, and characterization of a multimodal tactile sensor made of polymer materials and metal thin film sensors. The multimodal sensor can detect the hardness, thermal conductivity, temperature, and surface contour of a contact object for comprehensive evaluation of contact objects and events. Polymer materials reduce the cost and the fabrication complexity...
