Mechanoluminescence (ML) is generated during exposures of certain materials to
mechanical stimuli. Many solid materials produce ML during their fracturing, however, the …

As the field of robotics is expanding from the fixed environment of a production line to
complex human environments, robots are required to perform increasingly human-like …

In this paper, we present a new generation of active tactile modules (ie, HEX-O-SKIN), which
are developed in order to approach multimodal whole-body-touch sensation for humanoid …

A flexible capacitive pressure sensor has been developed for plantar pressure
measurement in biomechanical application. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) material was …

Mechanoluminescence (ML) materials with the ability to convert mechanical stimulate into
visible light signals have enabled visualized mechanics sensing. To this point, stress …

Background Soft materials, with their compliant properties, enable conformity and safe
interaction with human body. With the advance in actuation and sensing of soft materials …

In this work, we present the development of a polymer-based capacitive sensing array. The
proposed device is capable of measuring normal and shear forces, and can be easily …

This study addresses a design and calibration methodology based on numerical finite
element method (FEM) modeling for the development of a soft tactile sensor able to …

The elastico-mechanoluminescence (EML) properties of CaZnOS: Mn^ 2+ are investigated.
The CaZnOS: Mn^ 2+/epoxy resin composite can simultaneously “feel”(sense) and …
