Ai-driven advanced flexible pressure sensor arrays for smart animal husbandry: Response characteristics, optimization strategies, innovative applications

Flexible pressure sensor arrays, characterized by high sensitivity, stretchability, and biocompatibility, have emerged as a transformative technology across multiple disciplines, including robotics, healthcare, and biomedical applications. So far, despite significant advances in many aspects of flexible pressure sensors, comprehensive commentary on their role in smart animal husbandry remains scarce. This paper systematically evaluates the transmission mechanism, key performance index, optimization strategy, manufacturing method, and system integration of the flexible pressure sensor array. The cutting-edge and innovative applications of flexible pressure sensor arrays in animal husbandry were introduced, emphasizing how real-time monitoring and data analysis can improve production efficiency, optimize resource allocation, and improve animal welfare. The paper also explores the challenges and prospects of flexible pressure sensor arrays, with the expectation that this work will provide a valuable reference for researchers, engineers, and policymakers seeking to advance flexible sensing technologies in smart animal husbandry.
