Abstract
The MCF conductive rubber, combining the MCF in a silicon-oil rubber, has been developed with Shimada laboratory a few years ago. Recently, by means of the MCF electric conductive rubber, we are developing a haptic sensor for the applications to a robotic finger, artificial skin, and so on. For the purpose of the applications, it is important to understand dynamic characteristics of the MCF electric conductive rubber. In this paper, at first, we made two type experiments to observe the MCF conductive rubber's static conductivity and dynamic conductivity. The experiment results showed when the MCF conductive rubber is pressured it will change from an insulator to a good conductor and in same time if it is pulled too, the sensitivity of this haptic sensor improves
