Current trend of tactile sensor in advanced applications

Abstract

Tactile sensor is one of the important tactile technologies which discovered in the 1980s. It grows in line with development of robotics and computers. From current development trends, varieties of application areas from tactile sensor have been proposed. In this paper, developments of tactile sensor have been reviewed and the applications from previous five years journals are discussed. The transduction techniques, their relative advantages and disadvantages, latest application area of tactile sensor and contribution are analyzed.
