Cover Story: Rigid grippers generally grasp an object with the point of each finger. The sensor can be embedded at the fingertip to cover this area. Compared to conventional grippers, soft grippers can grasp an object with a larger contact area, which requires a wide range of sensing regions with a high spatial resolution. This paper presents a novel design and development of a low-cost and multi-touch sensor based on capacitive variations. The proposed sensor is composed of a wafer of different layers, silicone layers with electrically conductive ink, and a pressure-sensitive conductive paper sheet. This new sensor is very flexible and easy to fabricate, making it an appropriate choice for soft robot applications. The experiments conducted demonstrated that the sensor measured applied forces and contact points with good precision. View this paper
