1P1-X09 A study on development of HIGh Efficiency MOustache-Jungle-like YAbber Sensor II and the application to shape recognition(Tactile and Force Sensing (1))

Abstract

In this study, we develop a novel type of sensor, which is named HIGEMOJYA sensor II (HIGh Efficiency MOustache-Jungle-like YAbbcr Sensor II). This sensor is made by a large number of hairy tactile sensors, whose lengths change in a comparable wide range. We use this sensor to investigate the reaction of the sensor when an obstacle approaches it and keep the experiment records. We successfully make shape discrimination of the obstacle based on the reaction of the sensor.
