Abstract
This report proposes a hardness detection sensor that aims to evaluate the hardness of biomedical tissue. The sensor is composed of a hard cylinder material, a soft column material, and two thin plates and strain gauges. The forces which act on the soft and hard materials are measured by strain gauges through a deformation of the thin plates. The ratio of the forces evaluates Young's modulus of a soft contact object.
