Slip sensor

Abstract

A slip sensor includes a first insulating layer of which one side is a side of receiving a force and of which another side includes multiple first resistive portions, the first resistive portions, of which a longitudinal direction of each is directed to a first direction, being juxtaposed. The slip sensor includes a second insulating layer of which one side includes multiple second resistive portions, the second resistive portions, of which a longitudinal direction of each is directed to the first direction, being juxtaposed. The slip sensor includes a member disposed between the another side of the first insulating layer and the one side of the second insulating layer, the member being configured to elastically deform in accordance with the force. Each first resistive portion is disposed facing a given second resistive portion, the member being provided between a given first resistive portion and the given second resistive portion. A pair of electrodes is provided on both end portions of each of the first resistive portions and the second resistive portions. A difference between a resistance value set between a given pair of electrodes associated with a given first resistive portion and a resistance value set between a given pair of electrodes associated with a given second resistive portion facing the given first resistive portion continuously varies in accordance with elastic deformation of the member that is caused by a shear force.
