Abstract
Nowadays more and more intelligent robots are being used in scenarios that closely interact with humans, such as collaboration, healthcare, services, etc. This requires robots to have the ability to interact with human safely. Electronic skin is one of the important means for robots to achieve this goal. However, the robot electronic skin still faces serious challenges in large-area applications. We proposed a novel large-area less-wires stretchable textile-based robot electronic skin that can detect the contact position and force in real-time. Benefit by the smartly design of the double-faced effect functional conductive textile, the robot electronic skin has a simple four-layer structure and five external wires. In addition, the stretchability of the robot electronics skin enables it to cover the complex surface of various robots in large area. Finally, the potential applications of the robot electronic skin used for human–machine safe collision avoidance are demonstrated. This study shows that the robot electronic skin has great potential in the fields of robot interaction control.
