Proximity Sensing

A high-sensitivity and high-transmittance flexible pressure sensor is presented in this paper. Using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) sensing film to cover indium tin oxide (ITO) electrodes interdigitated on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate, an interdigital capacitance (IDC) structure is constructed. The pressure and proximity sensing characteristics of the fabricated IDC sensor are investigated. The experiment results show that the IDC sensor has the piecewise linear function in different pressure range, especially sensitive to the low-pressure range with the pressure sensitivity of 6.64 kPa[Formula: see text]. Moreover, it has a good repeatability with the maximum error rate of 2.73% and a high transmittance over 90% in the wavelength range from 400 nm to 800 nm. As a human finger approaches or leaves, the proximity sensing characteristic emerges, with a maximum sensing distance of about 20 cm.

SummaryRobots will require some form of proximity sensing in order to perform many delicate exploration, assembly and manipulation tasks. This paper describes a novel articulated tactile probe which can locate and accurately measure the 3-dimensional surface contours of small objects. Although lacking the speed of data acquisition possible with vision and other non-contact sensors, the resulting data is easily processed to give useful information about an object.
