Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid evolution of flexible pressure/force sensors has revolutionized sensing technologies, enabling their seamless integration into dynamic environments. These sensors, characterized by their deformability, lightweight nature, and high sensitivity, have emerged as pivotal tools in advancing fields such as healthcare, robotics, consumer electronics, and industrial automation. Recent breakthroughs in materials science have enhanced their performance, durability, and adaptability. This Special Issue highlights cutting-edge research on flexible sensor design, fabrication techniques, and real-world applications. It explores how these sensors contribute to innovative solutions, from wearable health monitors and tactile sensors in robotics to smart infrastructure and precision control in manufacturing.
