Proposed large-scale integrated (LSI) circuit gives robots, partshandling machines, and remote-control devices sense of touch. LSI circuits, placed on contact surfaces of manipulators combine functions of transduction, computing and communicating. Beneath layer of pressure sensitive rubber, resistivity of which changes with pressure, electrodes furnish pressuredependent signal to computation elements. Electrodes and computation elements contained in silicon integrated-circuit wafer.
