Results for tag: "Tactile Sensor"

The Tactile Sensor market is a subset of the larger Capacitive Sensor market. Tactile Sensors are used to detect physical contact or pressure, and are often used in robotics, automotive, and consumer electronics applications. They are typically composed of a sensing element, a signal conditioning circuit, and a microcontroller. The sensing element is usually a capacitive plate, which is sensitive to changes in pressure or contact. The signal conditioning circuit amplifies the signal from the sensing element and sends it to the microcontroller. The microcontroller then processes the signal and sends it to the output device. Tactile Sensors are used in a variety of applications, such as automotive, robotics, and consumer electronics. They are used to detect physical contact or pressure, and can be used to detect a variety of objects, including buttons, switches, and knobs. Some companies in the Tactile Sensor market include Alps Electric, CTS Corporation, Honeywell, and NXP Semiconductors. Show Less Read more
