Holweg, E.G.M. Regtien, P.P.L. Jongkind, W. Date 1997 Abstract Abstract of WO 9740339 (A1) The invention relates to a tactile sensor comprising a base plate provided at a first side with a plurality of electrically conducting wires forming a row, and provided at a second side opposite to the first side of the base plate with a plurality of electrically conducting wires forming a column, each of these wires forming cross points with the electrically conducting row wires. Each of the column wires forms an electrical contact with the row wires near each cross point, which electrical contacts are located at the first side of the base plate. The first side of the base plate is provided with a covering having a pressure-dependent electrical resistance and which, together with the electrical contact of the column wires and the row wires, is suitable to form one or more current paths. The covering is divided into segments, with each segment covering at least two adjacent cross points.
