Abstract
HighlightsFlexible sensitive carbon nanotubes/polydimethylsiloxane (CNTs/PDMS) nanocomposite with novel double-side rough porous structure was proposed by simple manufacturing methods.Three-dimensional (3D) force tactile electronic skin sensor based on CNTs/PDMS nanocompositions exhibited high sensitivity, good consistency and fast response.A promising strategy for low-cost multi-functional detection in human body monitoring and intelligent robot grasping applications was provided.
Highlights
Over past years, wearable and flexible tactile sensors have attracted a great deal of studies due to their great potential in various applications including physiological measurement [1,2,3], robotics [4], human–computer interaction [5, 6] and wearable devices [7, 8]
Large quantities of conductive nanomaterials and nanocomposites have been demonstrated with piezoresistance such as carbon nanotubes (CNTs) [23, 24], carbon black [25], graphene [26,27,28], nanowires [12, 29] and metallic particles [5]
This work demonstrates a 4 × 4 flexible tactile electronic skin sensor based on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs)/PDMS polymer nanocomposite for 3D contact force detection
Summary
Nano-Micro Lett. (2019) 11:57 detection in human body monitoring was employed with single sensing cell and the sensor array was integrated into a robotic arm for objects grasping control, indicating the capacities in intelligent robot applications.
