Abstract
This study aimed to develop flexible material-based sensors for the emotional skin of robots to recognize user's condition. An emotion perception skin (EPES) with sufficient stiffness and hardness was designed to be attached to the robot. Thus, it will not normally interfere with the robot's motion. The sensors to be manufactured must include characteristics such as ease and reproducibility of fabrication. In this paper, the mechanical properties related to the fabrication parameters of conductive flexible foam are analyzed. They are also evaluated in terms of the application to EPES. To this end, the fabrication process of conductive flexible foam is thoroughly described. Tests of mechanical properties were conducted according to dielectric materials and their compounding ratio by ASTM D412.
