An improved tactile matrix microsensor package

It is a fact that the most perspective tendency of the contemporary electronics is the development of intelligent systems of type, known as "artificial intellect". In line with the digital computing devices, very high importance has the information obtaining devices sensors. The complex applying of many physical, chemical and even biological principles in the contemporary microsystem technologies makes the sensor systems near to the possibilities of the real biological receptors. The object of this paper is a specific tactile sensor type with matrix structure. In some papers [1 ÷ 8], we considered the possibilities, the peculiarities and operating principle of the tactile matrix /TM/. In this paper is represented a suggestion for package construction corresponding to the exploitation requirements for this sensor class. The package is especially for a completely automated sensor system, which allows: 1) an automatic identification of the tactile matrix; 2) self-tuning to the changed sensor parameters (time degradation, outer influences and other); 3) a possibility for using a neural network for signal processing in high resolution TM.
