A bumper for impact detection with an object is disclosed. An electrically conductive member has a compressible, electrically conductive material mounted thereto. An insulator formed of mesh material is sandwiched between the electrically conductive member and the electrically conductive material for electrically insulating the member and the material when the member is in a non-compressed state and to provide electrical conduction between the member and the material when the conductive material is in a compressed state.

A bumper for impact detection with an object, comprising: an electrically conductive member; a compressible, electrically conductive material mounted adjacent said conductive member and having two ends; means for electrically insulating said conductive member from said conductive material when said conductive material is non-compressed but allowing an electrical connection between said conductive member and said conductive material when said conductive material is compressed at a point of impact with the object; and means for determining a position of the point of impact based on electrical measurements taken at the ends of the conductive material.
