Flexible tactile sensor technology: bringing haptics to life

Abstract

The continued evolution of computer technology requires us now more than ever to investigate and understand man‐machine interfaces. Physical interface peripherals such as touch‐screens and force feedback systems demand a comprehension of the tactile forces involved. To accomplish this, flexible, easy‐to‐install, minimally intrusive sensors are essential. Thanks to the development of such sensors, many doors have been opened for innovative haptic applications in a variety of fields including medicine, manufacturing, and entertainment.
