Abstract :

The desired level for tactile sensing in robotics and devices compared to the humanâ�?�?s tactile sensing ability still could not be reached because there are 241 sensory receptors per centimeter square in humanâ�?�?s tactile sensing and the acquired data is delivered to human brain without any data loss. But on the contrary the sensory receptors of robotics and devices for tactile sensing are at the number of tens per centimeter square and if total sensory number is increased to hundreds or thousands, the acquired data cannot be delivered to the computer properly or it will cost a lot. Due to our patented invention â�?�?Multi Point, High Sensitive Tactile Sensing Module for Robots and Devicesâ�? (US9030653B1), the number of tactile sensory receptors per centimeter square can be increased up to one million. The system also has the ability of temperature measurement in case needed. The key features of the system are as follows: System sends the gradual (not only I/O) tactile sensing data of each sensor individually and real time over a single USB cable which can reach up to total of 50 M+ sensor data with only 1 USB cable. System is constructed of all bendable materials which give us the chance of covering non-uniform shaped mechanical systems.As the tactile sensing and temperature data is transferred by light, the system does not interfere with magnetic fields. The systemis built up with only over-the-counter components that are common and easy to provide.
