Bionic skin has shown great potential in the fields of multifunctional robots and medical care.
The tactile sensor, an important part of bionic skin, is used to measure the temperature …

This paper describes a flexible and soft tactile sensor that measures the tri-axis force based
on inductance measurement. The proposed sensor has four spiral inductors printed on a …

To enable precise manipulation of fragile objects, robots need the sense of touch. Localized
sensing of the 3D force vector with a few mN of resolution is desired. Magnetic force …

This paper presents a novel flexible capacitive 3D tactile sensor using cross-bar
polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) walls and micropillar arrays as the composite structure …

Tactile sensors are essential for robotic systems to interact safely and effectively with the
external world, they also play a vital role in some smart healthcare systems. Despite …

The rapid development of robotics technology and human–machine interaction has created
a growing demand for accurate and reliable 3-D force measurement. Flexible force sensors …

We propose a soft capacitive tactile sensor using the displacement of an air–water interface.
This soft tactile sensor is composed of a soft contact part with a chamber and channel filled …

Tactile sensors should be immune to electromagnetic interference (EMI), to provide
repeatable and accurate signal of the physical touch for real-world applications. Soft …

The currently accepted interval of weekly cast changes in the treatment of clubfeet seems
unsubstantiated. A force sensor is needed to determine the adaptation rate of a clubfoot to …

Soft sensors are flexible and stretchable, and because of this, they can be used on a wide
range of surfaces, regardless of their size or shape. Such sensors may have applications …
