Application of Conductive Rubber Filled by Carbon Black for 3-D Force Measurement

Article Preview

Abstract:

Pressure-sensitive conductive rubber has been investigated as sensitive material due to its good pressure-resistance characteristics. This paper presents a flexible tactile sensor with new structure. The sensing mechanism is based on body piezoresistive effect of conductive rubber filled by carbon black. To improve the sensor’s flexibility, there is a smart angle design in the arrangement of the wires in lower electrodes layer. Besides, the force model of the sensor has been described. The simulation results indicate the validity of 3-D force measurement of the sensor.
