SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR FABRICATING SOFT SENSORS THAT CONFORM TO ARBITRARY SMOOTH GEOMETRIES

Abstract:

A system and method for fabricating soft sensors that conform to arbitrary smooth geometries that include fabricating a top stretchable layer that includes a set of electrodes of soft sensors that are made of an elastic material. The system and method also include fabricating a bottom flexible layer that is composed of a thin sheet of suitable metal that is patterned using photolithography. The system and method further include bonding the top stretchable layer to the bottom flexible layer to form a sensor substrate.
