Abstract
A capacitive sensor for characterizing force or torque includes a first plurality of non-patterned conductive regions and a first plurality of patterned conductive regions, and a second plurality of non-patterned conductive regions and a second plurality of patterned conductive regions. The first and second pluralities of non-patterned conductive regions are facing each other and the first and second pluralities of patterned conductive regions are facing each other.
Claims18
A capacitive sensor for characterizing at least one of force and torque, comprising:
- a first plurality of non-patterned conductive regions and a first plurality of patterned conductive regions disposed on a first surface of a first plate;
- and
- a second plurality of non-patterned conductive regions and a second plurality of patterned conductive regions disposed on a second surface of a second plate;
- wherein the first and second pluralities of non-patterned conductive regions are facing each other and the first and second pluralities of patterned conductive regions are facing each other when the first surface of the first plate is facing the second surface of the second plate.
