Abstract
The primary aim of this paper is to give to a humanoid robot the sense of pain. That because the pain is one of the ways to which we protect our body. Thus, we consider that a humanoid robot can take into account this sense in its behaviours to make them more realistic. Moreover, sensing the pain the robot can act in a protecting way. The perception of the pain is just one of the peculiarities, though one of the most important, of a somatosensory system that is our concluding goal.
