An Application of The Tactile Sensor Using A Method for Measuring Two Dimensional Pressure Distribution

Abstract

An application of the tactile sensor using a method for measuring the center position of the two dimensional distributed load is proposed and the basic experimental results for its verification are shown. The sensor used in this method is constructed of pressure-conductive rubber, a pair of resistive material coated film. In this paper it is shown that this sensor can concurrently detect two available values that are the center position of the two dimensional distributed load on the surface of the sensor and total load of the distribution.
