In this research, we propose a measurement system for surface undulation detection using a scanning soft haptic sensor. The scanning soft tactile sensor is a haptic device in which two long strain gauges are embedded in rubber layers. When the haptic sensor is pressed against the surface to be measured and traced, the haptic sensor outputs a signal corresponding to the shape of the surface. By learning the signal on machine learning and using the result, it is possible to detect the size of the surface undulation in real time. Furthermore, by aligning one of the embedded strain gauges by tilting, the position of the surface undulation can be measured from the phase difference of the two strain gauges and the tracing position. A measurement system that enables the detection of the position and size of the surface undulation on the measurement target surface by using the scanning soft haptic sensor is described.
