Abstract
This paper presents the development of a sensor system for collecting tactile information. First, distinction examination on six kinds of fabrics is done through human tactile perception. Next, an active sensing system using the piezoelectric effect and the pyroelectric effect of a PVDF(Polyvinylidene Fluoride) film is fabricated. The sensor's surface is heated and two kinds of active sensing, contact and slide, are introduced. Measurement using the sensor system is done on the samples. Comparison between the sensor outputs and the results of the distinction examination shows that the sensor system extracts features on feelings of vibration and warmth.
