To provide a detection device, an electronic apparatus, and a robot which are capable of detecting the intensity and direction of an external pressure with high accuracy.
The detection device comprises: a first substrate 10 having a plurality of first capacitive electrodes 12 which are disposed around a reference point P; a second substrate 20 facing the first substrate 10 with the first capacitive electrodes 12 interposed therebetween; a dielectric material interposed between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20; a second capacitive electrode 22 facing the first capacitive electrodes 12 with the dielectric material interposed therebetween; and a third substrate 30 having an elastic protrusion 32, the center of gravity of which is disposed at a position which is overlapped with the reference point P, which is elastically deformed by an external pressure in a state where a tip portion of the elastic protrusion 32 makes contact with the first substrate 10.
