Abstract: This paper designs and evaluates a touch sensor based on a MOSFET that detects electric fields generated between mechanisms in industrial automation systems and human skin. The sensor aims ...

The Venus flytrap possesses sensory hairs that detect prey via touch stimuli. Bending of the sensory hair trigger Ca 2+ and electrical signals that propagate to the leaf blade. Saitama, Japan: Plants ...

Abstract: Tactile sensors play a key role in human-machine interaction (HMI), providing essential tactile measurement capabilities for this field, where their performance directly determines the ...

Researchers have developed a thin optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The sensor is based on PDMS and is ...

Built using polymer waveguides embedded in silicone, the technology could transform robotics, prosthetics, and next-gen wearables by giving machines a tactile sense that rivals human touch.

Researchers have developed a flexible optical touch sensor that can simultaneously detect the strength and location of pressure with high sensitivity and stability. The advance in tactile sensing ...
