This paper presents a contact force sensor for robotic hand applications using the piezoelectric effect of PVDF film. A simple charge amplifier and data collecting system are described. The sensor has the characteristics of small size, good flexibility, and simple signal processing. Results indicate that the sensor provides reasonable performances for robotic hand applications. The feedback of contact conditions between the hand and the object aids steady and reliable manipulation.
