the elastomer cover is usually viewed with bias in terms of mechanical filtering effects impairing spatial discrimination. Shimojo [18] first analyzed the mechanical filtering effect of elastic cover for tactile sensor using the finite element method and concluded that the cover greatly decreases the ...
Due to the space gap between the adjacent units, there remains blind areas for force detection, which leads to an inability of detecting an arbitrary load. Most of these past studies have focused on realizing a high-density sensor array to achieve high spatial resolution, but ignore the ...
