Abstract :
A description is given of a general approach for producing high-resolution tactile sensors that are highly compliant. The approach is based on the idea of compliance matching, wherein the high compliance of the contacting element is matched to the low compliance of the sensing element. A prototype tactile sensor is proposed which uses magnetic fields as the matching medium. The author details the design of an important component of this device, 64×64 element array of magnetic field sensors
