ABSTRACT:
Methods and apparatus are provided for dynamically varying the resolution of a tactile sensor array. Sensing elements in the array are selectively coupled to reduce the resolution of the array, thereby permitting very fast sampling rates with low resolution, while retaining the ability to sample with higher resolution at lower sampling rates. Sensing elements may be coupled, for example, through the sensor array addressing circuitry. The present invention permits a single sensor array to be used for both low and high resolution applications, thereby eliminating the need to change sensors between applications or to maintain several sets of sensor arrays.
