Design criteria for ferroelectric polymer sensors and their applications to artificial organ technology
Electronic Textile. A logical step
The integration of electronics and clothing promises a variety of new technologies, but constructing electronic circuits on fabrics is complex. Coating fibres to create electrodes and forming transistors at their crossing points offers an elegant solution.
The concept of multifunctional — electronic or 'smart' — fabrics was suggested several years ago1, but only recently has their true potential to make life safer, healthier and more comfortable been recognised. Multifunctional fabrics are conceived as innovative and high-knowledge-content apparel, integrating sensing, actuation, processing and power functions into a single garment
Artificial tactile sensing and haptic perception
A critical evaluation of the state of the art in tactile sensing is presented. Various fields of application such as prosthetic and teleoperation are covered, but particular attention is paid to advanced robotics. Tactile sensing modalities are discussed in some detail through reference to basic issues of contact mechanics to provide clues for the conception and design of artificial haptic systems capable of surface texture discrimination, stable object grasping, fine-form detection, hardness evaluation and thermal sensing
