本文介绍了一种以聚偏氟乙烯(PVDF)薄膜为感受器的触觉传感器的研制，以评价人体皮肤的柔软度、光滑度和粘性。触觉是人体感觉感受器中仅次于视力的最重要的感官，我们可以利用这些感官快速检测皮肤状况。但是，它的主观性和模糊性给皮肤状况的量化带来了困难。因此，皮肤科医生、美容行业等迫切需要研制一种能够方便、客观地评价皮肤状况的测量仪器。本文研制了一种先进的触觉传感器系统，可以测量人体不同部位皮肤状况的多种信息。通过两个实验研究了该传感器系统在评价皮肤柔软度、光滑度和粘性方面的应用。
This paper is concerned with the development of a tactile sensor using PVDF (Polyvinylidene Fluoride) film as a sensory receptor of the sensor to evaluate softness, smoothness, and stickiness of human skin. Tactile sense is the most important sense in the sensation receptor of the human body along with eyesight, and we can examine skin condition quickly using these sense. But, its subjectivity and ambiguity make it difficult to quantify skin conditions. Therefore, development of measurement device which can evaluate skin conditions easily and objectively is demanded by dermatologists, cosmetic industries, and so on. In this paper, an advanced haptic sensor system that can measure multiple information of skin condition in various parts of human body is developed. The applications of the sensor system to evaluate softness, smoothness, and stickiness of skin are investigated through two experiments.
