A touch switch is the simplest kind of tactile sensor.

Tactile sensors have been developed for use with robots.

Tactile sensors can be used to test the performance of all types of applications.

My tactile sensors register the sharpness of the edge.

Also, I designed an independent tactile sensor that recognizes whether the person touching the tricorder is human.

The term tactile sensor usually refers to a transducer that is sensitive to touch, force, or pressure.

A tactile sensor is a device which receives and responds to a signal or stimulus having to do with force.

The carapace tactile sensors stroked his skin in mimicry of the contact.

There are also innumerable applications for tactile sensors of which most people are never aware.

Several classes of tactile sensors are used in robots:

In many other mammals they contain much longer, whisker-like hairs that act as tactile sensors.

The mechanical contact sensors belong to the second category of the tactile sensors.

They were plastic, mechanical digits moved with artificial muscles, and covered with tactile sensors.

Tactile sensors are useful in a wide variety of applications for robotics and computer hardware and even security systems.

Tactile sensors also provide information about forces and torques transferred between the robot and other objects.

With auditory sensory substitution, we use visual or tactile sensors to detect and store information about the external environment.

Electric contact sensors for joint tracking and/or work piece measurement are representing one type of tactile sensors.

Haptic devices may incorporate tactile sensors that measure forces exerted by the user on the interface.

The nanomouse does not see where it is going; it relies on tactile sensors, each with a discrete circuit.

Tactile sensors flashed up numbers in their designated grid, telling him how hot the pavement slabs were under his Skin soles.

One characteristic of biologically inspired tactile sensors is that they often incorporate more than one sensing strategy.

Recent research has developed a tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and touch receptors of human fingertips.

Tactile sensors are often in everyday objects such as elevator buttons and lamps which dim or brighten by touching the base.

Tactel (short for tactile element) - a single sensing point on a tactile sensor array.

Pinnipeds sport fine-tuned whiskers called vibrissae which, like with cats and mice, work as tactile sensors.
