1P1-E27 Design of Downsized Magnetic Type Tactile Sensor

Abstract

A novel magnetic type tactile sensor was proposed that can measure a three-axis force and detect slips. Features of the tactile sensor are a wiring reduction, simple structure and low cost. The proposed tactile sensor can be created many variation in hardness and shape of the elastic layer. In this paper, our purpose is downsized tactile sensor in order to realize a low cost and useful robot hand. Therefore, we are going to design the tactile sensor using finite elemental method for estimation of the size of the elastic layer and the arrangement of electric parts. Eventually, we verify the performance of this downsized sensor.
