- I'm trying to build a sensitive tactile sensor. Something that is reliable
- down to, say, a few g/cm^2. It must be fairly thin, and it would be nice
- if it were flexible. I've tried some sensors from a company called Interlink
- in Santa Barbara. They would have been perfect, except they didn't work well
- at low pressures (not very repeatable - they seem to have some hysterisis due
- to their design). Maximum pressure will be small.

- Ideas?
