Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The tactile sensors have been used for sensing the softness and hardness of an object. This paper presents a new tactile sensor with the trident-type tuning fork resonator. The vibration modes using the first and second flexural modes and these displacements are calculated using the finite element method. The dimensions of the resonator, which are not influenced by supporting conditions, are determined. The experimental characteristics of the tactile sensors made for trials are shown by measuring the softness and the hardness of test pieces. The difference of the characteristics is discussed from the viewpoint of the shape of sensor tip. This trident-type tuning fork resonator is expected to be a highly stable tactile sensor with a high quality factor.
