Patent ID: 8276467

Claim:
A tactile sensor with at least two sensor cells, each cell comprising an electrically conductive workpiece made of flexible material and a connection to a first and second electrode, and the flexible material changing its electrical volume resistance under mechanical load, wherein the at least two sensor cells are adjacent and at a spacing from each other by means of an intermediate region, and the at least two sensor cells have either common first electrodes or common second electrodes and, in the intermediate region between the at least two sensor cells, the electrically conductive workpiece of a first of the at least two sensor cells and the electrically conductive workpiece of a second of the at least two sensor cells are separated from each other at least partly by a medium with a greater specific resistance than the electrically conductive workpieces of the first or second sensor cell, wherein the electrically conductive workpieces are connected to each other by a web.
