Abstract
Innovative capacitive-type distributed sensor skins are presented of very high sensitivity compared to other such sensors in the literature. The paper presents the first two parts of the present project: (a) the testing of these sensor skins in terms of measuring pressure-type normal force and in-plane force and (b) the design, fabrication and testing of a two-“finger” gripper to be used as a test bed for the sensor skins.
