Transducer, Force Sensor and Sensor Unit

Tactile Sensor with a Sense Similar to Humans

Overview

　To get robots to do their jobs just like people do, it is important for the robot to install a sensor that can sense the same sense as humans.
　Conventionally, various types of sensors have been proposed, but they have problems such as a complicated structure and a complicated fabrication process.
　In the invention, a transducer is fabricated by forming a magnetic foam to cover a coil that provided on an electric substrate.
　Since the transducer is simple to fabricate and can sense a force from inductance displacement even with a small compressive stress, the invention is expected to solve the above problems.
