Abstract
A tactile sensor for detecting a variation in pressing real-time. The tactile sensor is simple in structure, detects a variation in pressing by using reduced wires, has increased reliability and reduced cost, and can obtain information accurately. A sheet has, along its surface, resistors arranged in an X direction and Y direction, has a resistor in Z direction corresponding to the thickness direction of the sheet, and has a pressure sensitive resistor sheet () whose resistance in the Z direction varies according to pressing in the thickness direction. At least a pair of electrodes () is placed in the periphery of the pressure sensitive sheet (), and the electrodes conduct a current to at least either of the resistor in the X direction or the resistor in the Y direction. Also, at least a pair of conductors () for conducting a current to the resistor in the Z direction is provided on the surface of the pressure sensitive sheet ().
