Although the three-axis tactile sensor is capable of delicate measurement, it is weak for
heavy contact force. In order to enhance resistance to a high degree of applied force, we …

In a previous study, we developed an all-in-type optical three-axis tactile sensor to address
two issues: the first is to be able to use external devices such as a CCD camera and light …

Since a robotic hand equipped with three-axis tactile sensors can detect not only grasped
force caused by pinching motion but also slippage generated by sliding fingers, it can be …

The optical three-axis tactile sensor was developed to allow a robot to sense three-axis force
distribution caused by touch. Although we have accomplished several manipulation tasks …

In this work, we present an ultra-slim profile packaging and assembly solution of a 360-μm
diameter medical guide wire fitted and integrated with silicon based fractional flow reserve …

In order to increase the versatility of multi-fingered humanoid robot hands, we designed a
human-finger-sized three-axis tactile sensor using a simple structure. Since we adopted a …

This paper presents the integration of miniaturized MEMS tri-axial tactile sensor with surgical
needle for robotic assisted minimally invasive surgery (MIS). In MIS, surgeons rely highly on …

In this paper a new design for an implantable MEMS acceleration sensor for heart
monitoring is described. Based on one of the smallest commercially available …
