Development of Kirigami-Patterned Stretchable Tactile Sensor Array with Soft Hinges for Highly Sensitive Force Detection (Adv. Sensor Res. 8/2024)

Abstract

Deformation-Insensitivity

Flexible sensor array using kirigami structural and soft-hinge design enables deformation-insensitive pressure detection. The sensitivity of sensor is enhanced by the modification with micropillars on conductive rubber. Characterization tests verify the almost negligible effects to sensor caused by 40% stretching and 180° bending interferences. The proposed sensor array is capable of functioning on the deformable surfaces with stable detection signals. More details can be found in article 2400012 by Yancheng Wang and co-workers.
