Waterproof and Flexible Aquatic Tactile Sensor with Interlocked Ripple Structures for Broad Range Force Sensing (Adv. Mater. Technol. 2/2024)

Flexible Aquatic Tactile Sensors In article 2301513, Yancheng Wang and co-workers present a novel waterproof and flexible aquatic tactile sensor for underwater broad range force sensing. The tactile sensor with interlocked water-ripple structures exhibits a high force detection range. Applications of underwater grasping experiments demonstrate that it can accurately detect the distribution and variation of contact forces when grasping objects with different shapes and hardness.
