Publication number: 20080134801Abstract: A tactile sensing for human robot interaction device and a method thereof are provided. The tactile sensing device at least includes a touch interface, a tactile sensor module, a controller, and an actuating unit. The tactile sensor module coupled to the touch interface is used to sense an external touch, so as to generate a series of timing data corresponding to the external touch. The controller coupled to the tactile sensor module is used to receive the series of timing data, and to determine a touch pattern based on a geometric calculation, so as to generate a control signal. The actuating unit coupled to the controller responses an interactive reaction corresponding to the touch pattern based on the control signal.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 29, 2006Publication date: June 12, 2008Applicant: INDUSTRIAL TECHNOLOGY RESEARCH INSTITUTEInventors: Kuo-Shih Tseng, Chiu-Wang Chen, Yi-Ming Chu, Wei-Han Wang, Hung-Hsiu Yu
