Abstract
A tactile sensor-attached finger is mountable on a robotic hand to reduce damage and failure caused by a grip target coming in contact with a part of a finger member other than its palm surface. A tactile sensor-attached finger (F) for a robot hand for gripping a grip target includes a finger member () including a palm surface () to be in contact with the grip target, a back surface () opposite to the palm surface (), an end surface () adjacent to the palm and back surfaces () on ends of the palm and back surfaces () in an extension direction in which the palm and back surfaces () extend, and two side surfaces () adjacent to the palm and back surfaces () in a direction intersecting with the extension direction, and a tactile sensor () being a film attached to an outer surface of a housing () included in the finger member () and including a pressure-sensitive area () overlapping the palm surface () and at least one of the end surface (), one of the two side surfaces (), or the other of the two side surfaces ().
