This paper analyzes a human tactile sensation based on the physiogical results. Then, the tactile sensor was designed by using the obtained results. Proposed sensor mechanism consists of the linkage, the wire, and the nonlinear spring. The mechanism has nonlinear properties and it can realize both the high sensitivity in the low lord region and wide sensing range. The effects of the dermal-epidermal structure were explained by using two different depth of the structure.
