A Capacitive and Piezoresistive Hybrid Sensor for Long‐Distance Proximity and Wide‐Range Force Detection in Human–Robot Collaboration

Abstract

Electronic Skins Safety is a core concern in human-robot collaboration (HRC), and the active safety control has attracted widespread attention. A capacitive and piezoresistive hybrid sensor array (e-skins) for longdistance proximity and wide-range force detection is presented in article 2100213 by Zhenlong Wang, Jie Zhao, PingAn Hu, Jia Zhang and co-workers. The performance for controlling commercial robots in HRC shows the potential usages in complex conditions.
