| Abstract: | In this research, a novel tactile sensor (with 50mm×50mm×56mm dimensions) has been developed using a silicone rubber based conductive polymer sensing element array incorporated to a novel 3D printed square type spring structure. Initial characterisation has been completed for the sensor. The structure stated in this paper has been designed for force scaling purpose and it's numerically analysed prior to the fabrication to avoid any mechanical failures and ABS Plus and Polylactic acid were used in the 3D printing fabrication. |
