摘要: In this paper, we propose a new tactile sensor element to realize robot skins. The has large sensing area (several square centimeters) and acquires not only contact force but also area. By arraying the elements, can cover with small amount of collect rich information. structure is very simple; two layers isolators (urethane foam) sandwiched by three pieces stretchable conductive sheets (conductive fabric). enables us obtain from capacitances between pieces. We method connect elements compose skin including no long wires. CMOS LSI sensor/communication chips are arranged at boundary measure send signals through identical layers.
