Abstract

We have designed and fabricated a tactile array sensors with three inclined micro-cantilevers embedded in elastomer, which can detect both normal and shear stresses. In this paper, we confirmed gripping status classification using sensor output. Using our sensor, four gripping status (free, grasping, holding and slipping) could be classified significantly.
