Shadow Robot Company: Tactile sensor overview of the 24 degree-of-freedom dexterous hand.
According to Shadow's web site, "the sensor uses Quantum Tunnelling Composite (QTC) as the sensing medium." Each sensor has either has either 34 or 22 active tactile elements, tactels, making it nearly as sensitive as human skin. The sensors come in two shapes for either a finger tip or a thumb but they can be custom made to any shape.
The sensors were developed for a DARPA funded project at Johns Hopkins University for new prosthetics.
