This book describes some devices that are commonly identified as tactile or force sensors. This is achieved with different degrees of detail, in a unique and actual resource, through the description of different approaches to this type of sensors. Understanding the design and the working principles of the sensors described here requires a multidisciplinary background of electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, physics, biology, etc. An attempt has been made to place side by side the most pertinent information in order to reach a more productive reading not only for professionals dedicated to the design of tactile sensors, but also for all other sensor users, as for example, in the field of robotics. The latest technologies presented in this book are more focused on information readout and processing: as new materials, micro and sub-micro sensors are available, wireless transmission and processing of the sensorial information, as well as some innovative methodologies for obtaining and interpreting tactile information are also strongly evolving.

The field of solid-state chemical sensor design is a research field of increasing interest as a result of the demands for reliable, inexpensive, and portable systems for environmental monitoring, assessing indoor air quality, food quality control, military, and many other applications. Solid-state chemical sensors, because they can be microfabricated using modern technologies of mass production, may be able to realize those requirements in practice. Solid-state sensor technology has advanced remarkably during the past few decades and is rapidly becoming an essential technology. As a result, many solid-state chemical sensors are now commercially available, and researchers are working to develop next-generation solidstate sensors that have all the necessary requirements, including small size, low production costs, and low power consumption.
