A Flexible, Piezoresistive Touch Sensing Array
01 January 1988
Touch sensing arrays can provide information about both the magnitude and location of contact between a robotic gripper and an object in prehension. By providing a limited imaging capability, tactile arrays aid in evaluation of the state and progression of manipulative tasks. Most tactile arrays, however, have been built on rigid planar substrates and have therefore been limited to the provision of planar touch surfaces.
