| Abstract | |
The development of a tactile sensor based on optical fiber specklegram analysis is reported. The fibers are interposed by deformer plates and the variations on light intensity due to microbending effect are correlated to the normal displacements, yielding 1.9 mm(-1) sensitivity. Moreover, the spatial information about applied loads over a 30 x 30 mm(2) frame can be retrieved by analyzing the specklegrams variations for 3 fibers, making possible to design tactile interfaces for applications in user-system interaction.
