Biomimetic tactile sensor inspired by the sensing principle of human skin

High-performance flexible tactile sensor capable of measurement in various extreme environments

 

Client / Market

  • Nanofiber, fiber laminating, paper, film manufacturing site

 

Necessity of this Technology

  • Many high-performance tactile sensors have been developed, but suffered several performance issues in the field test where they are actually used due to the impact of temperature, humidity, radiation.
  • There is demand to control the pressure sensing range and sensitivity for the highperformance sensors to be used in various fields.

 

Technical Differentiation

  • Synapse-inspired pneumatic-based remote tactile sensor: capable of measuring tactile pressure in the water, controlling the pressure range and minimizing the impact of the external temperature
  • Large area skin-type multi-step tactile sensor: Low sensor manufacturing cost with simple signal processing unit required. Capable of responding various pressure range with core tactile sensing capability

 

Excellence of Technology

  • There is no hysteresis phenomenon in the sensor performance, and it is highly reliable even when used repeatedly.

  • The measurable tactile pressure range can be easily controlled, and it can be used in various environments.
