Abstract :
A tactile sensor (3times3 array of spring loaded probes) applying mechano-reception by vision was developed. The sensor is novel in its application of a miniature CMOS VGA camera to measure the change in apparent size of miniature pin heads which is directly related to depth discrimination. It has a depth resolution of 50 mum.
