1A1-A09 Developement of Tactile Sensing Unit using FPGA for Distributed Perception

Abstract

We propose a tactile sensor unit for distributed perception. The unit measures and processes tactile information rapidly using a field programmable gate array (FPGA). Additionally, the unit can select any measurement point of 256 points and select the whole sensing element also. The feature of the proposed unit is that the degree of freedom of the measurement is high. In this paper, we describe the drive circuit of the unit and experimental results.
