Research Abstract |
Tactile sensors used now in various fields are consist of a pressure sensor device made of strain gauge. The conventional sensor device is not able to sense hardness and/or softness of an object in like the human hand. However, using the new phase shift technology designed by us, the new ultrasonic haptic probe, which has characteristics to sense an elastic properties of an object, was developed. It can be applied to a robot hand or a medical instrument.
