Electronic Artificial Skin for Application in Pressure Sensor

  • Conference paper
Robot Intelligence Technology and Applications 3

Part of the book series: Advances in Intelligent Systems and Computing ((AISC,volume 345))

Abstract

Combining with the cognition of human skin, a kind of flexible, stretchable large-area electronic device network (electronic skin) have been demonstrated for the detection of deformation and pressure, which allow robots to maneuver within environment safely and effectively. Through the application of soft technology, we potentially reduce the mechanical and algorithmic complexity involved in robot design. In our experiments we used soft materials coating AgNWs and the FFT algorithms to measure pixel pressure. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) has overwhelmingly been used as substrates of E-skin and other stretchable electronics. Arduino is also used in our experiment as a single-board microcontroller, intended to make the application of interactive objects or environments more accessible.
