| Research Abstract |
A thin flexible sheet-type shear force sensor has been developed. This sensor is composed of thin metal electrode-patterned plastic films, rubber materials, and liquid electrolyte. To develop this sensor, we carried out 3d-finite element method calculation to get guidelines for electrode designing. We also performed electrochemical research of electrolyte. We have refined sensor structure several times, and finally obtained a thin sensor of which thickness was 0.8 mm. We developed 2 types of measurement circuit systems for the sensor. Furthermore, as an example of application, a recording system of walking activity has been developed.
We have published one English paper on an international journal, and performed presentation 6 times including international presentation.
