Using FSR sensors to provide tactile skin to the humanoid robot KASPAR

Abstract

The work presented in this paper was completed during a summer internship at the University of Hertfordshire. The project aimed to explore the possibility of using FSR Sensors with the humanoid robot KASPAR in order to gain tactile feedback. This paper covers all the processes from applying the sensors to monitoring their ltered values on the computer. In addition, details of the electronics used including the Arduino board used to receive the sensor data and send it to the computer are discussed.
