A high resolution and flexible piezoresistive tactile sensor array

Abstract

In this paper, a high resolution and flexible piezoresistive robot tactile sensor array is developed. The sensor is made of a sheet of anisotropic piezoresistive material CSA and stripe electrodes. Data acquisition circuit for tactile array is a new method scanned by a row, not by a taxel as previous. This method raises the speed of data acquisition. Tactile image processing is also breefly discussed in the paper. The final section gives measured characteristics of the sensor and conclusion.
