The Structural Design And Simulation Research Of New Flexible Tactile Sensor

This paper introduced the tactile sensor technology at home and abroad on the status and development trend and some typical tactile sensor design method, analyzed their respective strengths and the existing shortcomings. Force-sensitive conductive rubber has better mechanical properties stronger anti-jamming capability and higher resolution, that was regarded as a good material of producing flexible tactile sensor. discussed the force-sensitive conductive rubber domestic and international situation and its main research purposes, summed up the force-sensitive conductive rubber in the application of tactile sensor, proposed a new Flexible tactile sensor design approach basing on the force-sensitiveconductive rubber.Carried on the finite element analysis to the Flexible tactile sensor module structure.the the results of analysis will be compared with the theoretical results,which proved the feasibility of the design program. The finite element simulation study of the three-dimensional array structure Flexible tactile sensors obtained the displacement quantity of the node coordinate under the action of three dimensional force and calculated around the output resistance change of the force sensitive conductive rubber sensor array unit under three dimensional action of force,all which provided the effective basis for the confirmation experiment result and the new structural design.
