The company behind the High-Temperature FlexiForce flexible piezoresistive force sensors, Tekscan, was founded in 1987 to produce matrix, or array, sensors that are widely used in medical and dental ...

Technologies such as load cells are too bulky or obtrusive to measure loads in some tight spaces; that’s where thin, flexible force sensors come into play. However, flexible force-sensing technology ...

Flexible piezoelectric sensors are essential to monitor the motions of both humans and humanoid robots. However, existing designs are either are costly or have limited sensitivity. In a recent study, ...

As an important physical parameter that characterizes the state and properties of an object, temperature plays a very important role in our production life. Flexible thin-film temperature sensors, ...

Fig. 1 Overview of the OFN sensor. (A) Schematic diagram of the OFN sensing system; (B) Photographs of the output light when the sensor was untouched, (C) subjected to normal force, and (D) subjected ...

The skin-like sensors play a vital role in bridging the gap between human beings, machines and real/virtual environments, carrying tremendous potential for internet-of-things (IoTs), artificial ...

How to create an application-optimized thin force sensor. How the sensor was integrated with a standard RFID IC. The various tests run for accuracy and range under different scenarios. Some ...

Evaluating tribological properties such as friction coefficients, friction forces, and torques for arbitrary material pairs, with high precision is crucial for multiple areas of research and industry.

A pair of earbuds can be turned into a tool to record the electrical activity of the brain as well as levels of lactate in the body with the addition of two flexible sensors screen-printed onto a ...

A structured capacitive sensor plus standard RFID IC yields a thin, battery-free contact-force readout. How to create an application-optimized thin force sensor. How the sensor was integrated with a ...
