We have developed a flexible impact force sensor using piezoelectric film. Flexibility of the sensor is achieved by the metal mesh sheet which covers entire surface of the sensor elements. Piezoelectric films of small dimensions are distributed inside the sensor. There is no electrical wiring in the sensor. The output signal of the sensor element is obtained from the metal mesh sheet via upper and lower electrode of the elements. This sensor intends to measure the impact force at the dummy doll head of a car crash test or at the hard surface of the robot body.
