Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA New Approach in Design and Operating Principle of Silicone Tactile SensorBakri Ali, Rozaini Othman, Rasdi Deraman, Muhammad Azmi AyubProblem statement: Research and development in tactile sensor are escalating due to the fact that advanced robot needs to interact with surrounding environments which is very complex, dynamic, uncontrolled and difficult to perceive reliably. Recent research has been focusing in development of new tactile sensor that takes advantage of advances in materials, Micro-Electromechanical Systems (MEMS) and semiconductor technology. To date, … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 6, Issue 8 · 31 Aug 2010 · 7,347 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractFabrication of a Capacitance-Based Tactile Sensor with Biomedical ApplicationsAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, M. Mehdi Movahedi, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe design, modeling, and testing of a flexible tactile sensor and its applications are presented. This sensor is made of polymer materials and can detect the 2D surface texture image and contact-force estimation. The sensing mechanism is based on the novel contact deflection effect of a membrane. We measure the amount of membrane deflection with measuring the change of capacitance … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 5, Issue 2 · 28 Feb 2008 · 7,388 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractDesign and Modeling of a New Tactile Sensor Based on Membrane DeflectionAli Tavakoli Golpaygani, Siamak Najarian, Goldis Darb EmamiehThe designed sensor can detect 2D surface texture image, contact-force, and softness of the sensed object. It consists of a chamber for pneumatic actuation and a membrane with a mesa structure. The sensing mechanism is the contact deformation effect of a membrane. Determination of the contact force and softness of sensed object is based on the amount and variations of … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 6,786 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractMathematical Modeling of a Tactile Sensor with Applications in Minimally Invasive SurgeryAshkan Mirbagheri, Siamak Najarian, Javad Dargahi, Farhad Tabatabai GhomsheThis paper describes mathematical modeling of a novel supported tactile sensor. This system has only three or four sensing elements instead of an array configuration. By writing a code, together with using the piezoelectric capabilities of the finite element analysis software, it is possible to extract the stresses developed in the tactile membrane along the edges of the sensing elements, … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 4, Issue 10 · 31 Oct 2007 · 7,186 accessesView PDF Cite
