Human skin is a remarkable organ. It consists of an integrated, stretchable network of
sensors that relay information about tactile and thermal stimuli to the brain, allowing us to …

Chronic nonhealing wounds are a major source of morbidity and mortality in bed-ridden and
diabetic patients. Monitoring of physical and chemical parameters important in wound …

Optical pressure sensors are highly responsive and are unaffected by surrounding
parameters such as electronic noise, humidity, temperature, etc. A new type of optical …

Respiration rate and volume are important physiological indicators of human health. They
can indicate cardiovascular health status and cardiopulmonary function. Here, we …

Skin-like soft sensors are key components for human–machine interfaces; however, the
simultaneous sensing of several types of stimuli remains challenging because large-scale …

In this paper we present a new optical, flexible pressure sensor that can be applied as smart
skin to a robot or to consumer electronic devices. We describe a mechano-optical …

Human skin contains multiple receptors and is able to sense various stimuli such as
temperature, touch, pressure, and deformation, with high sensitivity and resolution. The …

The need for flexible, highly sensitive tactile sensors that can fit onto curved surfaces is
driving the conformable sensor materials research in the field of human–machine …

This paper investigates a refractive index (RI) sensor based on a macrobending micro-
plastic optical fiber (m-POF), which is used as a sensitive probe. The m-POFs are fabricated …

Fiber optic pressure sensors have been widely used in recent decades. Most of the fiber
optic pressure sensors use fiber gratings and Fabry-Perot cavity. However, they have the …
