In this paper finger-pad-type tactile sensor for tele-presentation systems is developed. The sensor is designed to be small enough to attach on a robot finger. The sensor is made for detecting three physical characteristics. They are 'surface shape' 'elasticity' and 'friction characteristic' that help recognition of tactile sensation. Through a detection experiment of the surface shape, the distortion distribution and the dynamical friction coefficient, the produced sensor is evaluated. As a result, it is shown that the tactile sensor is suitable for attaching on robot fingers for teleoperation.
