Abstract
To accurately probe the tactile information on soft skin, it is critical for the pressure sensing array to be free of noise and inter-taxel crosstalk, irrespective of the measurement condition. However, on dynamically moving and soft surfaces, which are common conditions for on-skin and robotic applications, obtaining precise measurement without compromising the sensing performance is a significant challenge due to mechanical coupling between the sensors and with the moving surface. In this work, multi-level architectural design of micro-pyramids and trapezoid-shaped mechanical barrier array was implemented to enable accurate spatiotemporal tactile sensing on soft surfaces under dynamic deformations. Trade-off relationship between limit of detection and bending insensitivity was discovered, which was overcome by employing micropores in barrier structures. Finally, in-situ pressure mapping on dynamically moving soft surfaces without signal distortion is demonstrated while human skin and/or soft robots are performing complicated tasks such as reading Braille and handling the artificial organs.
