Tactile sensor arrays have attracted considerable attention for their use in diverse applications, such as advanced robotics and interactive human–machine interfaces. However, conventional tactile suffer from electrical crosstalk caused by current leakages between the cells. The approaches that been proposed thus far to overcome this issue require complex rectifier circuits or a serial fabrication process. This article reports flexible array fabricated through batch process using mesh. A...
Abstract Porous structures have been utilized in tactile sensors to improve sensitivity owing their excellent deformability. Recently, using porous used practical applications, such as bio‐signal monitoring. However, highly sensitive responses are limited the low‐pressure range, and significantly decreases a higher‐pressure range.
