1. An analyzer electronic circuit of a passive-matrix multicontact tactile sensor comprising:

  • means for energization of one of two axes of the passive-matrix multicontact tactile sensor;

    means for detecting electrical characteristics on the other axis of the passive-matrix multicontact tactile sensor at intersections between the two axes; and

    means for analyzing data corresponding to the detected electrical characteristics byfiltering the data,determining one or more contact areas on the passive-matrix multicontact tactile sensor based on the data,determining a barycenter for each of the one or more contact areas, andinterpolating the contact areas,wherein the energization axis and the detection axis are alternated.
