Notes:
In this paper, we present a multilayered and arrayed flexible sensor made ofPolyvinylidene Fluoride (PVDF), which can detect contact normal forces as well as positions. Sincethe sensor is flexible enough to be adapted to arbitrarily curved three-dimensional surfaces, it can beemployed as the fingertip sensor of the robot hand, contact sensors for robot manipulators etc. Thesensor displays enhanced characteristic features in terms of ease of fabrication, high spatial resolutionand cost-effectiveness. We propose a new design of the sensor that can be fabricated withoutadopting sophisticated processing technique as well as with improved spatial resolution. In addition,an electronic hardware for signal processing using a DSP chip has been proposed and, itseffectiveness is validated experimentally
