  • FLEXIBLE TOUCH SENSING SYSTEM AND METHOD
    Publication number: 20200183514
    Abstract: A single volume soft sensor capable of sensing real-time continuous contact and stretching. A low-cost and an easy method to fabricate such piezoresistive elastomer-based soft sensors for instant interactions is also provided. An electrical impedance tomography (EIT) technique is employed to estimate changes of resistance distribution on the sensor caused by fingertip contact. To compensate for the rebound elasticity of the elastomer and achieve real-time contact sensing, an adaptive baseline update for EIT is utilized. The baseline updates are triggered by fingertip contact and movement detections.
