Capacitive Tactile Sensors in Robotics

The Conformable TactArray is a ~1mm thick flexible sensor constructed from soft, conductive cloth and captures pressure distribution between two objects in direct physical contact. The Conformable TactArray can accommodate varying degrees of curvature and can output accurate, repeatable data even while wrapped around irregular shapes. Key Features and Benefits: Maintain high-resolution and capture quality data even around complex shapes High resolution, sensitivity, and repeatability allow for consistent capture of accurate data The sensors can capture a minimum sensing pressure of 10 Pascal Save time and improve results through repeatable accuracy and less recalibration time needed Available in a wide range of size configurations, pressure ranges, and resolutions Comes standard with the powerful Chameleon Visualization Software

The PPS TactileGloves are tactile pressure sensor gloves with embedded sensing elements throughout the palm and fingers, allowing for natural and accurate testing of pressures applied to and exerted by the hand. Nearly any hand operation can be measured accurately through the 65 individual highly sensitive sensing elements within each glove. Sensor Glove Features: Ensure a natural test environment with the only glove hand sensor on the market User friendly, comfortable to wear and no adhesives or wires to get in your way High-resolution, sensitive sensors detect even the lowest pressures (0.1oz/3g) Meant to handle the real world. It's wireless and battery powered. Delivered in pairs (Left + Right). Available glove size: small, medium, and large.

The TactileMat is a rigid and robust pressure sensing pad that is of the largest, high-resolution pressure mapping sensors on the market. The use of a large area sensor like the TactileMat allows you to capture dynamic pressure over a larger area without the dead zones typically associated with trying to use multiple smaller sensors side-by-side. This is one of the largest pressure mats on the market. Key Features Large pressure mapping surface area (220 mm x 450 mm) Rigid, robust, and can be built in various full scale ranges (FSR) up to 188 psi FSR Waterproof IP53+ (Can be special ordered to higher water-proofing upon request) Slim construction (7.69 mm) with a non-slip base Array Size = 44 x 90, element size = 5 mm x 5 mm

The FingerTPS is a set of wearable finger sensors that enable you to measure grip, touch, and other hand forces. A more affordable alternative to the TactileGlove, this easy-to-use system captures high-quality data in a natural and organic form-factor. **Finger selection can be customised to specification** Features: Design or research with accurate, sensitive and repeatable data even for complex finger geometry. Comfortable and minimally-intrusive system allows for full range of motion and ensures natural hand manipulation research. Plug and play—no configuration needed. Just place on the hand, calibrate the sensors and Chameleon auto-detects your hand configuration. Compact wireless Bluetooth electronics provides simple and easy to use set-up, with minimal wires. Connect two wrist assemblies at the same time for two handed operations.
