要約(英語): This paper describes a magnetic tactile sensor with Indium antimonide (InSb) Hall elements that enables multifunctional tactile sensing devices to detect normal contact forces and temperature. InSb Hall elements are generally used as magnetic sensors. The proposed sensor consists of two InSb Hall elements and a magnet that are embedded in silicone rubber, which functions as artificial skin. Here, the normal contact force is detected by the variation in distance between the Hall elements and the magnet. The temperature characteristics of the InSb Hall elements depend on the bias circuit to generate the Hall voltage. Two output Hall voltages driven by two kinds of bias circuits are measured in the normal contact force range from 0 to 90 N, and for a temperature range of 0 to 50℃. The inverse response surfaces that are used to identify the normal contact force and temperature are formulated using experimental results. The results obtained show that it is possible to detect normal contact force and temperature by obtaining two kinds of Hall voltages.
