The electricity-conducting rubber force sensor is an attractive candidate as a low-cost
material for tactile sensors. This article shows the evidence that the output reproducibility
is largely improved when two identical sheets of the sensors are stacked. The
stacked structure may reduce accidental error that is a fatal obstacle in an accurate
control system.
