Abstract:

The flexible tactile sensor is a type of device that imitates the human tactile. It can get the information and data of the human body and the external environment. The application in medical detection and intelligent robots provides a broad prospect. Recently, many researches have greatly improved the performance of flexible tactile sensors. In the first part of this review, the structure and basic performance of flexible tactile sensors is introduced. In the second part, we discuss a new type of tactile sensor with self-healing, self-driving and visualization. The third part discusses the application of flexible tactile sensors in wearable electronic technology, medical care and human-computer interaction interface. The final part of the article discusses the challenges that flexible tactile sensors will face in the future.

Key words: Tactile sensor, Pressure sensor, Strain sensor, Wearable device, Man-machine interaction
