In this work, a pressure sensor was manufactured by a simple screen-printing method and used as a tactile sensor for a robot gripper. Two-dimensional pressure mapping information was obtained by arranging the sensors in a 4x4 array. By integrating with a wireless communication circuit equipped with a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) module, it can be easily attached to a robot gripper. The gripping force of the robot gripper was controlled using the obtained sensing information, and non-destructive gripping of soft objects was realized.
