Abstract
This demonstration shows a highly flexible, transparent, and thin tactile sensor. The sensor detects touch forces at single or multiple points with fast response and high bendability in response to dynamic input force (0–3 N) without any electronic components on sensing areas. The sensor is also capable of sensing pressure on curvilinear soft surface such as human skin without significant performance degradation. The force sensor has potentials to be used in a number of applications for measuring dynamic contact forces on various surfaces.
