Abstract

This paper is a study on the development of a haptic sensor system for monitoring skin conditions. The base of the sensor is a copper shell, around which a rubber sponge layer, PVDF film, a protective layer of acetate film and gauze are applied in sequence. The sensor is attached to the tip of an elastic cantilevered beam and pressed against an area of skin. It is then slide over the skin to collect surface morphological features. Through the fundamental experiment using the artificial objects, the surface roughness and softness are evaluated visually by using Symmetrized Dot Pattern. The sensor system is then applied to the clinical test. Results show that the sensor output well describes the skin conditions.
