RD-11916 TACTILE SENSOR ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A tactile area sensor for robots has an array of pneumatic flow passages. The air flow in each passage is dependent on a localized force exerted by an object pressing against an elastic pad on the face of the sensor. The air flow impinges on a metallic tab and its angular displacement is sensed by directing a light beam from an optical fiber onto the tab and monitoring the quantity of light reflected to a paired optical fiber. The array of optical output can be presented to a charge injection device and are dependent on the shape of the object.
