Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3047021
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:
PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To realize a tactile sensor to detect the three-dimensional characteristics of the object to be operated, such as conveyance, assembly, and processing, of a robot and other handling device.
SOLUTION: A part of the plane part 9 of the base of a rubber skin 1 is expressed in a manner that the adjoining pins 4 of a plurality of the pins 4 point to a direction in which the pins 4 are opened from each other by an object 5 making contact with the outer surface of a rubber skin 1, and a pattern different in brightness is formed.
