چکیده مقاله:

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, magnitude of applied force can be estimated. Structure of the sensor consists of a disk-shaped piezoelectric crystal that its diameter is 2 cm, its thickness is 2 mm and its resonance frequency is 135 kHz. This crystal is placed in a metal chamber. A spring is on the crystal on which a moving part is installed for applying force. One of the characteristics of the sensor is that its size and shape can be easily tailored to the different applications. By miniaturizing this sensor and using biocompatible materials, it is applicable in different fields of medicine such as minimally invasive surgery (MIS).

A Novel Inverse Solution of Contact Force Based on a Sparse Tactile Sensor Array

High-density tactile sensing has been pursued for humanoid robotic hands to obtain contact force information while the elastomer skin cover is traditionally considered to impair the force discrimination. In this work, we try to utilize the diffusion effect of the elastomer cover to identify an arbitrary contact force load just based on a sparse tactile sensor array. By numerical analysis, we pr...

23.3: Tactile Sensor Based on Piezoelectric Resonance

We discuss here about the realization of tactile sensor based on the principle of change in piezoelectric resonance frequency with the applied pressure. An array of electrodes has been adopted on either side of the PZT material to have independent resonators. The common areas sandwiched between the electrodes and excitable at resonance frequency of the PZT material are used to form the sensitiv...
