Abstract
Tactile sensors for robot hands are important in order to improve the working performance of the industrial manipulating robots' hands. However, as for the most tactile sensors, which have been suggested, these sensors have no flexiblity, and contact areas between the sensors and the objects, are small. Therefore, the pressures of local distributions are obtained from the sensors. Consequently, we proposed a new pressure distribution sensor that combined flexible material and conductive rubber for robot hands. The usefulness of our new sensor is described in this paper.
