Abstract :
To obtain two tactile information, that is, static contact force and contact temperature of an object, a tactile sensor using a PVDF film and is proposed. The tactile sensor, which compared with one of the minute sense receptors of the human skin, was experimentally made. The ability of the sensor was investigated under various static forces and thermal stimuli. As experimental results, the effectiveness of the proposed tactile sensor was confirmed.
