Abstract
A visco-poroelastic elastomer-based capacitor type tactile sensor includes a first electrode, an active layer formed on a top surface of the first electrode and made of a visco-poroelastic elastomer, a second electrode formed on a top surface of the active layer, and a controller configured to provide an electric field generated orthogonal to an extension direction of the first electrode and the second electrode between the first electrode and the second electrode. In proportion to an external pressure applied to the tactile sensor, a concentration of effective ions present at the interfaces between the active layer and the first and second electrodes is increased.
