    Abstract: The present disclosure has an object of providing a tactile sensor having a simple structure and capable of detecting a shear force, and a tactile sensor unit constituting the tactile sensor. The present disclosure relates to a tactile sensor unit including: a plurality of pressure-sensitive elements each including a first substrate including a first electrode, a second electrode disposed facing the first electrode, and a dielectric disposed between the first electrode and the second electrode; and an external force acting portion disposed on and across the plurality of pressure-sensitive elements, wherein, when a shear force is applied to the external force acting portion, at least a part of the pressure-sensitive elements change in inter-electrode electrostatic capacitance.
