| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Recently, demand for flexible and distributed load sensor is increasing in various fields such as tactile sensing in robot. However, load sensors have many problems in lack of flexibility, complex wiring, and discrete measurement since they are based on electrical/electronic devices. We have developed one-dimensional distributed load sensors utilizing acoustic frequency responses of elastic tubes. Two-dimensional load sensors by making an acoustic waveguide on a rubber substrate have been proposed. We also investigated the acoustic characteristics in elastic tubes.
