Abstract
A sensor element capable of appropriately detecting an external force operating three-dimensionally is provided. The sensor element has an electrically conductive elastic member whose electrical property changes when compressed or expanded by an external force, and a plurality of electrode elements, which are capable of receiving power supply, for measuring electric properties from outside. The plurality of electrode elements are grouped into one or more sets, each having a predetermined number of electrode elements, for measuring electrical properties, and the electrode elements constituting a set are arranged three-dimensionally inside and on the surface of the conductive elastic member.
