INTRODUCTION
When humans try to grasp an object, they do not need to know the parameters (like mass) of the object. They just control the force of the hand which ensures the object will not fall by human ‘feeling’. For the robot hand, the slip sensors which fix on the fingertips could give the feedback (it is like human’s feeling) to the CPU which could control the force of the robot hand [1]. In a sense, the slip sensor is a kind of the force sensor, because the feedback of the slip sensor

This paper presents a novel microwave cavity sensor application for the detection of HEPA filter particulate loading. The sensor resonates at 3.435GHz and 8.570GHz when empty, where the TM010 and TM020 modes dominate respectively. Experimental results show that the resonant frequency of the sensor shifts significantly when filters of different particulate loadings are presented to it. This is a significant finding, and means that the sensor could present an effective solution for determining

A direct resistive sensor interface to a microcontroller reported earlier, works well only if the sensor element is very close to the micro-controller pins. If the sensor element is at a distance from the micro-controller then the lead resistance due to connecting wires between resistive sensor element and the micro-controller introduces appreciable errors in the output.
