Triboelectric Self-Powered Three-Dimensional Tactile Sensor

Three-dimensional tactile sensing in smart devices is witnessing an increasing demand. In this study, a three-dimensional tactile sensor is proposed according to the principle of triboelectricity by using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) films. Use of PDMS-ZnO composite films...

The hardness of the object has a significant effect on the output voltage. Finally, the sensor is tested on a manipulator grasping an object to demonstrate its ability to sense the contact and sliding of the object.
