| Outline of Annual Research Achievements |
A capacitive-based soft force and proximity sensor was developed. The sensor was easy to build at relatively low-cost. The sensors was evaluated and the characteristics of the sensors were studied. The result was published in IROS 2021.
Several units of the proposed sensor were installed in NICEBOT, a robot arm. Several characteristics of the sensors then were tested. In particular, the external disturbance and the effect of self-sensing that affects the measurement of the sensor was studied.
