TY - CHAP AU - Byung June Choi AU - Jooyoung Chun AU - and Hyouk Ryeol Choi ED - Jose Gerardo Rocha ED - Senentxu Lanceros-Mendez Y1 - 2008-12-01 PY - 2008 T1 - Development of Anthropomorphic Robot Hand with Tactile Sensor:SKKU Hand II N2 - This book describes some devices that are commonly identified as tactile or force sensors. This is achieved with different degrees of detail, in a unique and actual resource, through the description of different approaches to this type of sensors. Understanding the design and the working principles of the sensors described here requires a multidisciplinary background of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, biology, etc. An attempt has been made to place side by side the most pertinent information in order to reach a more productive reading not only for professionals dedicated to the design of tactile sensors, but also for all other sensor users, as for example, in the field of robotics. The latest technologies presented in this book are more focused on information readout and processing: as new materials, micro and sub-micro sensors are available, wireless transmission and processing of the sensorial information, as well as some innovative methodologies for obtaining and interpreting tactile information are also strongly evolving.
