Abstract :
Two kinds of catheter sidewall tactile sensors are designed and produced in this paper, and they are the single position tactile sensor and tactile sensor array respectively. A single position sensor mathematical model of catheter sidewall is established, and the output signal experiments of this kind of sensor in two different cases are carried out and the corresponding experimental results are given. And experiments on tactile sensor array are carried out in this paper.
