The basis of the technology is a sensor that converts the pressure and vibration of the contact surface into an electrical signal. In addition, tactile sensors are integrated with multiple pieces of information, such as temperature sensitivity, and some have the ability to estimate the texture of delicate objects. Robotics technology is not limited to the function of evaluating the nature and texture of an object, but also plays an important role in basic human movements such as grasping objects with appropriate force and holding a pen to write letters. Is essential for the development of.
