A method of manufacturing a tactile sensor, which is capable of implementing a wide range of senses, including sensing contact pressure (vertical force and horizontal force) with an external object and heat caused by the contact pressure, comprises forming a side block formation pattern of a force sensor and forming a piezo-resistor formation pattern of a heat sensor; forming a piezo-resistor and depositing an oxide film on the piezo-resistor; forming contact holes and forming a line hole formation pattern; forming a metal line, a temperature measurement metal line, and a heater; depositing an oxide film on the metal line, the temperature measurement metal line, and the heater, and forming a load block on the oxide film; and forming a side block by etching a bottom surface of the wafer on which the load block is formed.
