Fabrication of interdigitated capacitor on fabric as tactile sensor

Flexible and stretchable fabric-based tactile sensor

In this extended abstract we introduce a novel fabric-based, flexible, and stretchable tactile sensor, capable of seamlessly covering natural shapes. Our developed sensor can have an arbitrary perimeter, can cover freeform surfaces and remains operational on top of soft padding such as a gel cushion, which is a prerequisite for building human-like, soft artificial palm and finger sensors. We di...

FABRICATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF POLYANILINE-GRAPHENE COMPOSITE AS ELECTRODE IN ELECTROCHEMICAL CAPACITOR

In this study, polyaniline-graphene composites with different nano-structures are synthesized and the behaviour of the obtained composites serving as electrode materials in electrochemical capacitors is studied. The morphology, crystal structure, and thermal stability of the composites are examined using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Thermal gravimetric analys...

Design and Construction of a New Capacitive Tactile Sensor for Measuring Normal Tactile Force

This paper presents the design, construction and testing of a new capacitive tactile sensor for measurement of normal tactile force. The operation of proposed sensor has been investigated in ASTABLE and MONOSTABLE circuits. According to the results of these circuits the deviation of ASTABLE circuit results is less than MONOSTABLE circuit results. In addition, the results obtained from ASTABLE c...

Effect of finger geometries on strain response of interdigitated capacitor based soft strain sensors

Fabrication of Flexible Piezoelectric PZT/Fabric Composite

Flexible piezoelectric PZT/fabric composite material is pliable and tough in nature which is in a lack of traditional PZT patches. It has great application prospect in improving the sensitivity of sensor/actuator made by piezoelectric materials especially when they are used for curved surfaces or complicated conditions. In this paper, glass fiber cloth was adopted as carrier to grow PZT piezoel...
