Abstract

In accordance with one embodiment of the present disclosure, a flexible tactile sensor includes a conductive target positioned in a first plane, a tool holder coupled to the conductive target configured to receive a tool, at least three coils forming an array within a second plane, the second plane spaced apart from the first plane, a pliable material coupling the conductive target to the at least three coils, and an electronic device electrically coupled to each of the at least three coils, the electronic device configured to induce an AC signal within each of the at least three coils and measure a change in inductance in the at least three coils in response to movement of the conductive target.
