Robotics - Tactile sensors

This section shows various practical solutions for tactile image sensors. The devices use a solid rigid substrate to support a force-sensitive elastic polymer layer, which is the active film and gives an electrical signal through a kind of transduction mechanism. The signal-detecting circuitry can be hybridized alongside the device on the supporting substrate.
