1P1-B10 Development of wide purpose tactile sensor series sensing from proximity to contact seamlessly

Abstract

A meshstructure tactile sensor series capable of attachment to freeform surfaces with reduced wiring is proposed. These wide purpose tactile sensor series sensing from proximity to contact seamlessly. The measuring principle of these sensors is the same. These sensors also feature high response speeds without requiring software processing. Regarding the wiring for multiple detection elements, internal connection is only required between adjacent detection elements. Also, sensor response speed is almost unaffected by the number, placement, or sensor surface area of the detection elements, and there are only 4 signal wires from the sensor.
