Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-005891
A portmanteau of "tactile pixel," representing an individual sensing element in a tactile sensor array. Each taxel measures localized pressure, force, or texture information across a surface. These arrays are used in robotics, prosthetics, and human-computer interfaces to provide a sense of touch, with resolutions varying based on the density of the taxels.
