Abstract
Provided is a pressure sensor for electronic skin. The pressure sensor measures pressure levels, and includes conductive rubber, electrodes, and elastic rubber. The conductive rubber has conductivity that increases when a pressure exceeding a predetermined pressure is applied thereto. The electrodes are formed on either side surface of the conductive rubber to measure current flowing through the conductive rubber. The elastic rubber is formed on a top surface of one of the electrodes to disperse pressure applied to the conductive rubber.
