Researchers invent flexible and highly reliable sensor for wearable health devices and robotic perception – Tech Explorist
This novel e-skin, called TRACE, performs five times better than conventional soft materials.
Real-time health monitoring and sensing abilities of robots require soft electronics, but the challenge of using such materials lies in their reliability. Unlike rigid devices, being elastic and pliable makes their performance less repeatable. The variation in reliability is known as hysteresis.
Guided by the theory of contact mechanics, a team of researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) came up with a new sensor material that has significantly less hysteresis. This ability enables…
