There are many aplication you can use this type of sensor for. Like a robot
that should grip something, and you dont want it to grip to hard. Use those
tuchsensitive sensors on the "fingertips" on the robotic arm and it can
"feel" when the fingers are tuching something and know how hard its grip is.
Another aplication is a piano. Tuchsensitve sensor under each keys, and the
piano knows how hard (fast) you have tuched the keys and kan make the volume
of the tones acording to that.

I've looked around on websites but cant find any sensor like this.
Is there one already out there someplace? Or maybe someone is up to the task
to make some? Do this sounds intresting at all?

all analog? They seem to do exactly what you are talking about, but maybe there
is some better processing going "on under the hood"? I wonder if you can pick up
an old controller off of e-bay and get at its guts?

Hello folks, I just come up with an idea, maybe there is a sensor like this made already... I'm thinking of a tuchsensitive sensor. Not the on/off type or with only one resistor value. I'm thinking of a tuchsensor that can register how far the (...) (21 years ago, 22-Dec-03, to lugnet.robotics)
