Tactile Sensor with the Hall IC

An Integrated Tactile-Thermal Robot Sensor With Capacitive Tactile Array

A capacitive tactile sensor and a thermal sensor that can be combined into one compact device with both modalities are illustrated. The tactile sensing portion is composed of an 8 8 array of capacitive cells. By using as thermoresistors the rows’ traces of the matrix of the capacitive tactile array sensor thermal sensing is obtained. This allows the detection of the gradient of the temperature....

Design and Construction of a New Capacitive Tactile Sensor for Measuring Normal Tactile Force

This paper presents the design, construction and testing of a new capacitive tactile sensor for measurement of normal tactile force. The operation of proposed sensor has been investigated in ASTABLE and MONOSTABLE circuits. According to the results of these circuits the deviation of ASTABLE circuit results is less than MONOSTABLE circuit results. In addition, the results obtained from ASTABLE c...

Tactile sensor with automatic gain control

This paper proposes a new tactile sensor capable of automatically adjusting the sensitivity of each sensor unit, depending upon the contact information. Suppose a strain gauge based tactile sensor composed of multiple sub-sensor units and a single AD-DA port. For such a sensor system, we introduce two key components; the Analyzer, how to determine the contact force quickly from each sub-sensor ...

Slime mould tactile sensor

Slime mould P. polycephalum is a single cells visible by unaided eye. The cells shows a wide spectrum of intelligent behaviour. By interpreting the behaviour in terms of computation one can make a slime mould based computing device. The Physarum computers are capable to solve a range of tasks of computational geometry, optimisation and logic. Physarum computers designed so far lack of localised...
