Abstract
The following quote was obtained by the news editors from the background informa tion supplied by the inventors: “ “Field of the Invention “The present invention relates to a load sensor that detects a load applied from outside, based on change in capacitance. “Description of Related Art “Load sensors are widely used in the fields of industrial apparatuses, robots, v ehicles, and the like. In recent years, in accordance with advancement of contro l technologies by computers and improvement of design, development of electronic apparatuses that use a variety of free-form surfaces such as those in human-for m robots and interior equipment of automobiles is in progress. In association th erewith, it is required to mount a high performance load sensor to each free-for m surface.
