Summary:Robots are slowly becoming part of our civilization, or at least one of the main evolutions of the third millennium. Nowadays their integration is based on their aspects by looking more and more human. Additionally, not only considering the psychological aspects, our society will have to improve their interaction. Systems integrating a full spectrum of sensors will have to be implemented. In this framework, as a preliminary step, the implementation of a tactile robotic skin can be an interesting upgrade. To guarantee safety between robots and humans, it can be interesting to implement such robots with human-like tactile perception. In this work, we focus on the realization of innovative tactile skin model. This model allows to sense and indicate where the pressures have been applied by using a combination of a flexible polymeric capacitive skin model combined with a LED matrix.
