1A1-H23 導電性糸の編み込みによる伸縮可能な柔軟ニットセンサ外装の試作と評価(触覚と力覚)

Abstract

Soft stretchable sensor exterior has possibility to enable robots to conduct natural and safe behaviors using whole-body tactile sensing. Although some soft stretchable sensor using electro-conductive strings have been studied so far, knitted structures used in their studies are simple and limited one. Therefore, we tested more stretchable and sensitive sensor structure using electro-conductive yarn. Furthermore, band-type stretchable sensor exterior is prototyped and evaluated by putting it on an actual robot's arm.
