<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a contact detector, capable of contact detection at high speed while simplifying wiring or a processing circuit, and a robot using it. <P>SOLUTION: Conductive faces of conductive sheets 11 and 13 are oppositely arranged through an insulating spacer 12 having a number of pores 121. When a contact force acts thereon, the conductive faces are mutually contacted and short-circuited, whereby contact can be detected. A plurality of the contact sensors 1 can be connected in series or in parallel, and in this case, these sensors can be connected to a detection circuit using only two conductors. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2007,JPO&INPIT</p> |
