Comb Shaped Multi-Functional Tactile Sensor For Material Discrimination

摘要

This paper presents a novel multi-functional tactile sensor. It has a mono-structure, but has three kinds of sensing functions for discriminating material properties and a touch force sensing function which is a basic function in a tactile sensor. The proposed sensor is used to discriminate typical materials such as iron, aluminum, copper, brass, rubber, acrylic resin, styrene foam and so on.
