A sensor element capable of appropriately detecting an external force
operating three-dimensionally is provided. The sensor element includes an
elastic member which can be compressed or expanded by an external force
received from an object, a resistance element whose electric resistance
value rises or falls when deformed by the external force, and a support
member arranged inside or on the surface of the elastic member and
capable of supporting the resistance element disposed at a predetermined
position. The sensor element is applied to an object movement control
device and an object judgment device.
