During social interaction humans extract important information from tactile stimuli that
enriches their understanding of the interaction. This process depends, however, not only on …

A hyperelastic pressure transducer is fabricated by embedding silicone rubber with
microchannels of conductive liquid eutectic gallium–indium. Pressing the surface of the …

A novel soft strain sensor capable of withstanding strains of up to 100% is described. The
sensor is made of a hyperelastic silicone elastomer that contains embedded microchannels …

Even though the sense of touch is crucial for humans, most humanoid robots lack tactile
sensing. While a large number of sensing technologies exist, it is not trivial to incorporate …

Wearable technologies are gaining momentum and widespread diffusion. Thanks to devices
such as activity trackers, in form of bracelets, watches, or anklets, the end‐users are …

A hyperelastic, thin, transparent pressure sensitive keypad is fabricated by embedding a
silicone rubber film with conductive liquid-filled microchannels. Applying pressure to the …

This article introduces a soft and stretchable sensor composed of silicone rubber integrating
a conductive liquid-filled channel with a biocompatible sodium chloride (NaCl) solution and …

Intelligent robotic systems that can react to unprogrammed tasks and unforeseen
environmental changes require augmented “softness.” Robogami, a low-profile origami …

Whole-body-contact sensing will be crucial in the quest to make robots capable of safe
interaction with humans. This paper describes a novel design and a fabrication method of …

Heart rate measurement is a basic and important issue for either medical diagnosis or daily
health monitoring. In this work great efforts have been focused on realizing a portable …
