In this paper, we propose a novel method to form a robot skin sensor by a piezoelectric material spraying technique. By spraying piezoelectric material and a pattern of electrodes, the robot skin is fabricated on a robot with 3D free form. We describe our method briefly, then report our piezoelectric film production method and a circuit was created to remove electrical noise, the frequency characteristics and the voltage sensitivity of the sensor fabricated on the plane were investigated. According to the results, we found that the sensor we proposed has performance that works well as tactile sensor.
