About

S. Wattanasarn is a researcher whose work lies at the intersection of flexible electronics and tactile sensing, with a particular focus on electromagnetic induction principles. Their most significant contribution is the development of a three-dimensional flexible tactile sensor that operates through electromagnetic induction coils, a novel approach published in 2012. This sensor, which has accumulated 44 citations, uses elastomer-based structures that deform under applied force, altering the induced voltage in embedded coil couples to measure tactile input. The innovation addresses a critical challenge in soft robotics and human-machine interfaces: creating sensors that can conform to curved surfaces while maintaining sensitivity to multi-directional forces. By leveraging electromagnetic induction rather than traditional capacitive or piezoresistive methods, Wattanasarn's design offers advantages in durability and signal stability. This work has been influential in the development of electronic skin and wearable haptic devices, providing a foundation for subsequent research in soft tactile sensing systems. Wattanasarn's contributions continue to inform the design of more robust and flexible sensing platforms for robotic and biomedical applications.
