Abstract
Disclosed is a tactile sensor which includes: a disk-shaped first strain generating section; plate-shaped second to fifth strain generating sections each provided as an extension of the first strain generating section extended from one of four substantially equiangular peripheral edge portions of the first strain generating section, each of the second to fifth strain generating sections being structured to support the first strain generating section as a leg thereof; first to fourth foot sections extended at a side different from a first strain generating section side respectively from the second to fifth strain generating sections; a diaphragm type first strain gauge attached to a discoid surface of the first strain generating section; and second to fifth strain gauges attached respectively to planer surfaces of the second to fifth strain generating sections, and a gripping robot using the tactile sensor for detecting contact pressure.
