Cover Story: Soft robotic grippers mimic the dexterity of human hands. To improve their performance, integrated sensors using flexible electronics enable real-time measurements, contributing to shape sensing, gesture recognition, and pressure mapping, allowing them to adjust their grip based on the object's shape. This paper shows the design, fabrication, and characterization of piezoresistive sensors arranged in a Wheatstone bridge configuration on a flexible polyimide substrate to detect curvature and bending. These sensors are embedded in PDMS with SMA foil (to mimic a human hand's finger movements controlled by temperature) and connected in a five-finger-shaped PCB, providing a voltage output while measuring the resulting finger shapes for future applications in soft robotics and prosthetics.
