Generally, multiple functinalities and low power consumption are important performance parameters to be considered [1]. Currently, most haptic feedback devices utilize piezoresistive materials to detect force signals [2], [3], which in nature have drawbacks in spatial resolution and sensitivity. Piezoelectric sensors are also optional, however, traditional piezoelectric sensors cannot detect static force signals, both of which face challenges in forming a pixelated array which can visualize the haptic gestures. In this work, a flexible tactile sensor formed by a 10×10 pixelated piezoelectric sensor array and its sensor interface circuit is proposed to achieve the haptic visualization of dynamic and static force stimuli.","PeriodicalId":289035,"journal":{"name":"2022 IEEE International Flexible Electronics Technology Conference (IFETC)","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121396133","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
