Paper Fsrs And Latex/Fabric Traction Sensors: Methods For The Development Of Home-Made Touch Sensors

Abstract

This paper presents the development of novel "home-made" touch sensors using conductive pigments and various substrate materials. We show that it is possible to build one's own position, pressure and bend sensors with various electrical characteristics, sizes and shapes, and this for a very competitive price. We give examples and provide results from experimental tests of such developments.
