Bioinspired Electronic Whisker Arrays by Pencil‐Drawn Paper for Adaptive Tactile Sensing

Abstract

Bioinspired electronic whisker (e-whisker) arrays fabricated using pencil on paper are demonstrated for adaptive tactile sensing. The pencil-drawn e-whisker arrays with superior strain sensitivity, fast response (50 ms) and high durability/stability enable to monitor strains, build 3D spatial maps and detailed reconstruct objects' localization, orientation, and shape, and may have potential applications in advanced robotics, artificial intelligence, human-machine interfaces, and health monitoring systems.
