キーワード	Tactile sensor
研究実績の概要	This year, we explored the possibility of a new type of tactile sensor. This sensor has a capability of sensing both proximity and force using just Capacitive-based transducer. This sensor can be used for safety of human-robot interaction. Furthermore, we also further improve a Hall-effect based tactile sensor on human's finger. The sensor can measure 3-axis force that a wearer applied when touching an object with fingers. The obvious feature of this sensor is that the sensor doesn't obstruct the touching of the fingers like usual glove-type sensor does.
現在までの達成度 (区分)	現在までの達成度 (区分) 2: おおむね順調に進展している理由 The research progress smoothly even though there are some changes of plans such as the development of a new sensor.
今後の研究の推進方策	We will continue the development of both the capacitive-type force-proximity tactile sensor for robot safety and the Hall-effect tactile sensor for human.
次年度使用額が生じた理由	To further develop the sensors.
