20100207490 | PIEZOELECTRIC TACTILE SENSOR - A novel flexible tactile sensor for sensing the force direction was designed by introducing the concept of structural electrodes on a piezoelectric film. The structural electrodes comprised an elastomeric column and distributed microelectrodes between the column and piezoelectric film. As a periodic small force acts at the elastomeric column, the force is transferred to the piezoelectric film based on the column bending behavior, therefore the scale of force can be detected by the output voltages from the distributed electrodes due to the corresponding force state under the column. In addition, two opposite output signals from different sides of the column can differentiate the force direction as the column is bent by external force. The resulting signal for sensing force and its direction depends on the size of column. | 08-19-2010 |
