Development of tactile devices for close contact level measurement with humans

Abstract

We have developed a tactile sensor module for sensing and controlling the degree of contact between a wearable device and a human. In our previous work, there were issues with the piping connection method to the tactile sensor module and the stretchable function of the clothing-type device that carries the sensor. In this paper, we describe a tactile sensor module and a clothing-type device that solve these issues.
