A novel fully 3D, microfluidic-oriented, gel-based and low cost stretchable soft sensor
摘要：
在本文中，一种新的全3D，微流体导向，基于凝胶，低成本的高度可拉伸电阻传感器已经提出。通过所提出的方法，我们能够通过单个传感器测量和区分所有的拉伸、扭曲和压力特征，这是我们从传感器的全3D结构中获得的潜力。与以前使用EGaIn作为传感器导电材料的传感器相比，我们使用了低成本，安全和普遍存在的基于乙二醇的凝胶。为了显示所提出的传感器的功能，进行了一些有限元模拟，一组设计的实验测试，显示所提出的传感器的线性，准确和耐用的操作。最后，将传感器放在女性测试对象的膝盖、肘部和手腕上进行测试。此外，为了评估传感器的压力功能，开发、制造和评估了全3D主动式足部鞋垫。所有的结果都显示了所提出的传感器在现实世界中的应用，如康复，可穿戴设备，软机器人，智能服装，步态分析，AR/VR等有前途的功能。
英文摘要：
In this paper, a novel fully 3D, microfluidic-oriented, gel-based, and low-cost highly stretchable resistive sensors have been presented. By the proposed method we are able to measure and discriminate all of the stretch, twist, and pressure features by a single sensor which is the potential that we have obtained from the fully 3D structure of our sensor. Against previous sensors which all have used EGaIn as the conductive material of their sensor, we have used low-cost, safe, and ubiquitous glycol-based gel instead. To show the functionality of the proposed sensor some FEM simulations, a set of the designed experimental tests were done which showed the linear, accurate, and durable operation of the proposed sensor. Finally, the sensor was put through its paces on the knee, elbow, and wrist of a female test subject. Also, to evaluate the pressure functionality of the sensor, a fully 3D active foot insole was developed, fabricated, and evaluated. All of the results show promising features for the proposed sensor to be used in real-world applications like rehabilitation, wearable devices, soft robotics, smart clothing, gait analysis, AR/VR, etc.
