... and versatility. In this paper, a novel idea is proposed in which a tactile sensor array can measure rate of displacement in addition to force and displacement of any viscoelastic material during the course of a single touch. To verify this new array sensor, several experiments were conducted on a diversity...

... as the system tactile sensor. FSRs are polymeric films which exhibit a decrease in resistance with an increase in the force applied to the active surface. Their force sensitivity is optimized for use in human touch control of electronic devices. This quality makes this kind of sensor appropriate for use...
