This paper is a study on the development of an active haptic sensor for monitoring skin conditions. The base of the sensor is an aluminum cylinder, around which a polyurethane rubber layer, a PVDF film, a protective surface layer of an acetate film and lace are stacked in sequence. To obtain a constant sliding speed, a stepping motor is introduced to drive the sensor. The sensor is first pressed against an object, and then it scans over the definite position to collect surface morphological features. Through the fundamental experiment using artificial object of different roughness and hardness, two evaluation parameters characterizing skin conditions are determined. The sensor system is then applied to the clinical test of skin conditions. The result shows that the parameters extracted from the sensor output agree with the subjective evaluations of dermatologist and the skin conditions evaluated by traditional methods.
