1. A collision detection device for detecting a collision of a handling device with an obstacle, comprising at least one gas-filled chamber, which is surrounded by a flexible shell being deformable by collision with an obstacle and comprises a flexible support structure, wherein the support structure forms a damping element, which together with the shell mechanically damps forces acting during a collision, and further comprising a pressure sensor for measuring gas pressure inside the at least one gas-filled chamber, wherein the device is attachable to the handling device so as to cover at least a first and a second portion of the handling device, characterized in that the shell and the support structure are integrally formed with each other and provide a mutually different degree of damping in a first region and in a second region, wherein the shell and the support structure are manufactured by a generative manufacturing process in layers.
