In this paper, a force sensing element having a pillar and a diaphragm is proposed and thereafter fabricated by micromachining. Piezo resistors are fabricated on a silicon diaphragm for detecting distortions caused by a force input to a pillar on the diaphragm. Since a practical arrayed sensor consisting of many of this element is still under development, the output of an assumed arrayed type tactile sensor is simulated by FEM (finite element method). Using simulated data, the possibility of tactile pattern recognition using a neural network (NN) is investigated. The learning method of NN, the number of units of the input layer and the hidden layer, as well as the number of training data are investigated for realizing high probability of recognition. The 14 subjects having different shape and size are recognized. This recognition succeeded even if the contact position and the rotation angle of these objects are changed.

We have developed a universal robot hand with tactile and other sensors. An array-type tactile sensor is crucial for dexterous manipulation of objects using a robotic hand, since this sensor can measure the pressure distribution on finger pads. The sensor has a very high resolution, and the shape of a grasped object can be classified by using this sensor. The more the number of measurement points provided, the higher the accuracy of the classification, but with a corresponding lengthening of the measurement cycle. In this paper, the problem of slow response time is resolved by using software for an array-type tactile sensor with high resolution that emulates the human sensor system. The validity of the proposed method is demonstrated through experiments.
