Help: Tactile sensors for robotic hand
Hi all,
I am working on a project where im making a robotis hand. The absic structure, skin and servo motors are all set up. But I am having trouble in finding good tactile sensors. I have tested QTC as the force sensor but I am not satisfied with its performance. I am looking for the following sensors:-
- Force + Contact Sensor
- Temperature Sensor
- Proximity Sensor
I would really appreciate you input on this. Thanks a lot

iceharisay me more about your project like.... when your hand should move
at once it senses temperature
at once it sense metal nearby or anything like this... -
umerwahlaThanks for the response. Well I would want the thermal sensor to be fairly quick, since i'll be using it to differentiate between a human and an object. So it necessary for the thermal sensors to give the correct reading of temperature in less than a second. As for the the proximity senor, again I would prefer if it gives me the reading in less than a second, but even slightly longer is permissible. I want to know if an object is near so that the hand can come into the right shape.

Ashraf HZI'd prefer using a contact sensor rather than proximity ones. At least you don't need to bother with complicated calibration for the latter 😛

and what contact sensor would u prefer?ashI'd prefer using a contact sensor rather than proximity ones. At least you don't need to bother with complicated calibration for the latter 😛 -
Ashraf HZProbably a simple SPST switch thats always open. Though, it'll have to be a bit sensitive though.
