While this layout reduces the wiring involved, it does not allow the values of the sensor resistors to be measured individually due to the appearance of crosstalk caused by the nonidealities of the array reading circuits. In this paper, two reading methods that minimize errors resulting from this phenomenon are assessed by designing an electronic system for array reading, and the results are compared to those obtained using the traditional method, obviating the nonidealities of the reading circuit. The different models were compared by testing the system with an array of discrete resistors. The system was later connected to a tactile sensor with 8 \u00d7 7 taxels.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s17112513","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,1]],"date-time":"2017-11-01T16:01:19Z","timestamp":1509552079000},"page":"2513","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["High-Accuracy Readout Electronics for Piezoresistive Tactile Sensors"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"17","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9505-9141","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 A.","family":"Hidalgo-L\u00f3pez","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-1185-4864","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"\u00d3scar","family":"Oballe-Peinado","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga (IBIMA), M\u00e1laga 29010, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-7167-2651","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Juli\u00e1n","family":"Castellanos-Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga (IBIMA), M\u00e1laga 29010, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-8503-9593","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jos\u00e9 A.","family":"S\u00e1nchez-Dur\u00e1n","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga (IBIMA), M\u00e1laga 29010, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3709-8190","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Raquel","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Fernando","family":"Vidal-Verd\u00fa","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departamento de Electr\u00f3nica, Universidad de M\u00e1laga, Andaluc\u00eda Tech, Campus de Teatinos, M\u00e1laga 29071, Spain"},{"name":"Instituto de Investigaci\u00f3n Biom\u00e9dica de M\u00e1laga (IBIMA), M\u00e1laga 29010, Spain"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,11,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"93","DOI":"10.1016\/j.sna.2008.10.013","article-title":"A new discrete circuit for readout of resistive sensor arrays","volume":"149","author":"Saxena","year":"2009","journal-title":"Sens.
