Future robots are expected to work closely and interact safely with real-world objects and
humans alike. Sense of touch is important in this context, as it helps estimate properties such …

The response to different force load ranges and actuation at low energies is of considerable
interest for applications of compliant and flexible devices undergoing large deformations …

This paper presents and compares two different types of screen-printed flexible and
conformable pressure sensors arrays. In both variants, the flexible pressure sensors are in …

In the last few years, additive manufacturing has been investigated as a promising
production methodology in the field of electro-mechanical devices thanks to the high …

This paper presents large-area-printed flexible pressure sensors developed with an all
screen-printing technique. The 4× 4 sensing arrays are obtained by printing polyvinylidene …

In this paper, we present an ultraflexible tactile sensor, in a piezo-eletricoxide-
semiconductor FET configuration, composed by a poly [vinylidenefluoride-co …
