This book presents an in-depth description of the solutions available for gathering tactile data, obtaining aforementioned tactile information from the data and effectively using the same in various robotic tasks. The efforts during last four decades or so have yielded a wide spectrum of tactile sensing technologies and engineered solutions for both intrinsic and extrinsic touch sensors. Nowadays, new materials and structures are being explored for obtaining robotic skin with physical features like bendable, conformable, and stretchable. Such features are important for covering various body parts of robots or 3D surfaces. Nonetheless, there exist many more hardware, software and application related issues that must be considered to make tactile sensing an effective component of future robotic platforms. This book presents an in-depth analysis of various system related issues and presents the trade-offs one may face while developing an effective tactile sensing system. For this purpose, human touch sensing has also been explored. The design hints coming out of the investigations into human sense of touch can be useful in improving the effectiveness of tactile sensory modality in robotics and other machines.

Download or read book Novel Stretchable Printed Wearable Sensor for Monitoring Body Movement Temperature and Electrocardiogram Along with the Readout Circuit written by Ali Eshkeiti and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conformal and stretchable wearable sensors provide vital real time information about individual's health conditions. In this work, Traditional printing methods are used for fabrication of stretchable and wearable sensors which can be mounted on the human skin for the purpose of health tracking. In addition, screen printing technology was utilized to develop a printed and flexible electronic circuit board which can be used as a readout circuit along with fabricated wearable sensors. The dissertation is organized and pursued in three projects. In the first project, screen printing was used to fabricate multi-layer PCBs using printed deposited materials on three distinct substrates. The different characteristics of PET, paper and glass as a substrate for PCBs were analyzed. A method for populating electronic components onto the printed PCB pads was established and demonstrated. Different analysis, such as effect of the roughness of the substrates on the electrical performance of the printed lines and the effect of bending on the resistivity of the printed lines were performed. The capability of the printed hybrid PCB circuit to correctly operate and drive an LCD was shown. In the second project, a new method for fabrication of wavy lines and structures was devised for the formation of stretchable and flexible wearable sensors. Thermoplastic polyurethane was used as a substrate in this project. Different wavy structure designs were printed and analyzed to determine the best design rules. Silver and Carbon Nano Tubes were used for fabrication of wavy lines. The printability, bendability and stretchability of all printed lines were tested and analyzed. Different design rules and parameters such as the ratio of the width of the lines to their radius and the length of the extended line to the diameter of the arc were tested and analyzed. Printed wavy structures using CNTs showed below 35 percent change in the resistance when it was stretched and 50 percent strain was applied on the structure. 40 percent change in the resistance of the lines printed using silver was obtained when 10 percent strain was applied. The results obtained demonstrated that CNTs showed a promising potential to be used for fabrication of strain wearable sensors. In the third project, a novel wearable sensing platform for the detection of disorder in body movement, temperature and ECG was fabricated. Both wavy structure and non-wavy structure were implemented in these devices. Silver and CNTs inks were used for the fabrication of different sensing parts on the PDMS and tattoo paper as substrates. The strain sensor fabricated on tattoo paper and PDMS were tested towards bending of finger to angles of 10, 20, 30 and 40 degree. 3.66 percent, 4.7 percent and 4.18 percent change was observed in the resistance for each step for sensor 1, sensor 2 and sensor 3, respectively, on tattoo paper. The printed sensor on the PDMS demonstrated average change of 2.7percent, 2.2 percent and 2.8 percent for sensor 1, sensor 2 and sensor 3, respectively, for each step of bending of finger. The printed sensor on the PDMS was successfully implemented as a temperature sensor for tracking of skin temperature. Mixture of silver and silicone was used for fabrication of flexible electrocardiogram sensor on PDMS. The devices response demonstrates the feasibility of printed multi-functional wearable sensors for health monitoring applications.

Book Fabrication and Characterization of Thin Film Pressure Sensors Using Novel Materials

Download or read book Fabrication and Characterization of Thin Film Pressure Sensors Using Novel Materials written by Victor Samoei and published by . This book was released on 2020 with total page 83 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thin-film pressure sensors have received widespread attention in recent times due to its ease of manufacture, characterization, and fatigue strength. Commercial fabrication of these sensors is inexpensive and compatible with the current manufacturing technologies. It has been found that the sensitivity of the flexible pressure sensor depends on the sensing pressure, the microstructural dispersion of nanoparticles, and the compatibility of the binder and the nanoparticles. The binder/particle dispersion should be such that it facilitates the formation of a greater number of conduction paths with a slight change in sensing pressure. The objective of this thesis includes the fabrication and characterization of a thin-film pressure sensor using different novel materials. The first material to be investigated was ZnO. ZnO thin-film materials that have received a great deal of attention due to its unique properties of being a semiconductor with wide bandgap and piezoelectric effect. The sensor characteristic of ZnO was compared with barium-titanate (BaTiO3) Gallium arsenic (GaAs) and Polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF). The second material to be investigated was aluminum-doped zinc oxide (AZO). AZO has attracted a great deal of attention in many applications because of its nontoxicity, abundancy, and lower cost than other materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO). The AZO films were deposited on polyethylene (PE) substrates by a radiofrequency (rf) magnetron sputtering method. The piezoresistive sensor was tested for different pressures in vacuum and gage pressure conditions. The response characteristics indicated that resistance increased with the bending of the AZO layer in both compressive and tensile operation modes. The sensor characteristics exhibited that the AZO piezoresistive sensor can be used to measure ambient pressure quantitatively. This investigation indicated that AZO can be used as an alternative material for the fabrication of pressure sensors. Lastly, the materials that were investigated are carbon black/ Poly (vinylidene fluoride) (CB/PVDF), graphene/PMMA, and graphene/PVDF composites. The conductive CB/PVDF material was prepared by the wet-cast method and deposited into a flexible polyethylene (PE) substrate, while the graphene composites were prepared by the solvent cast method. The surface morphology, crystal structure, and material properties were studied using SEM and X-ray diffraction methods. Sensitivity, response time, and recovery time were analyzed by testing the sample in the deferent pressure range and vibration modes. The repeatability and reproducibility characteristics of the sensor were studied and found that the sensor exhibits excellent characteristics. The sensors were subjected to different loading/unloading pressures. The resistance of the sensor remained stable indicating that the sensor had a high degree of reproducibility.

Book Stretchable Electronics Towards the Fabrication of Organic Sensors for Artificial Skin

Download or read book Stretchable Electronics Towards the Fabrication of Organic Sensors for Artificial Skin written by Bastien Marchiori and published by . This book was released on 2018 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Stretchable electronics concern electrical and electronic circuits that are elastically or inelastically stretchable by more than a few percents while retaining function. In order to achieve this, devices tend to be laminar and usually thin. Compared with rigid, hard conventional electronic systems in planar formats, stretchable electronic systems can be stretched, compressed, bent, and deformed into arbitrary shapes without electrical or mechanical failure within the circuits. Currently, stretchable electronic systems have many important and emerging applications in new, soft and curved bio-inspired areas, such as tuneable electronic eye cameras or artificial skin capable of mechanically invisible integration onto human skin. These sensors would be integrated on robotic or prosthetic hands to recreate the same sensing capabilities than the skin: touch, pressure and temperature. The aim of this thesis is to identified strategies and materials to make stretchable devices with stretching capabilities similar to the one of the skin (~15%) with performance close to rigid devices. In this purpose, a microfabrication process to fabricate organic sensors has been developed. The devices are based on laser cut bulk metallic stretchable interconnections with maximum elongation of 80% in PDMS matrix. Then, these tools have been used to fabricate a biosensor: the organic electrochemical transistor (OECT). The transistor is based on a conducting polymer and is able to sense physiological signal. A temperature sensor has also been developed, able to sense infrared signal, like the human skin. These devices can stand up to 30% strain and can be integrated into a matrix for artificial skin applications.

Book Development of Smart Wearable Sensory Systems on Flexible and Fabric Platforms for Health Monitoring Applications

Download or read book Development of Smart Wearable Sensory Systems on Flexible and Fabric Platforms for Health Monitoring Applications written by Simin Masihi and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wearable sensing technology has recently received an increased attention in both research and commercialization phases and has moved from a vision of science fiction to reality with a wide variety of applications. This incredible growth can be attributed to several factors, such as affordability and ergonomics provided by advances in flexible electronics. The other factors that realized wearable sensing technology include a critical need for more accessible health care services experienced during the recent COVID pandemic, integration to the Internet of Things (IoT), and a growing consumer desire for health awareness. This dissertation presents the fulfillment of three main projects and focuses on the development of various sensors on flexible platforms such as fabrics and plastics using Flexible Hybrid Electronics (FHE) technology to facilitate healthcare monitoring. In the first project, highly sensitive fabric-based pressure sensors were developed for detecting and decreasing sport-related head injuries. Many athletes, from football players to equestrians, rely on helmets (headgear) to protect their heads from impacts or falls. However, a loose or improperly fitted helmet could leave them vulnerable to traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), a leading cause of death or disability in the U.S. To monitor the helmet fit, a highly sensitive pressure sensor cap has been developed that can map pressure in real-time. When worn under a helmet, the cap could help reveal whether the helmet is a perfect fit. These pressure sensors rely on a capacitive mechanism and were fabricated by placing a novel porous polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) layer between two fabric electrodes. The porous PDMS dielectric layer was fabricated by introducing nitric acid (HNO3) into a mixture of PDMS and sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3, known as baking soda) to facilitate the liberation of carbon dioxide (CO2) gas, which induces the creation of porous microstructures within the PDMS dielectric layer. This porous PDMS material experiences large deformation, when compared to a solid PDMS layer, and thus increases the capacitance change, making the pressure sensors highly sensitive. In the second project, a flexible wireless electrocardiogram (ECG) device was developed on a fabric platform for electrocardiographic examinations without the use of skin treatments or adhesive gels. In practice, this ECG device facilitates more frequent “at-home” screening of patients who are at risk of cardiovascular disease. The developed device consists of dry electrodes that were fabricated by printing a conductive carbon-PDMS composite on stretchable thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) laminated on fabric and a flexible readout module that can be directly integrated into clothing. Even though dry electrodes do not use adhesive gel, they perform very similar to conventional wet electrodes and even better in terms of signal to noise ratio. Therefore, they are easier to apply and can potentially replace the wet electrodes. In the third project, a flexible tunable and compact microstrip antenna with a conformal structure was developed for wearable applications. The antenna was fabricated by sandwiching a flexible polyimide substrate between two flexible copper tapes, forming the radiating patch and ground plane. Laser machining was introduced as a facile and fast method for the antenna fabrication. To meet the crucial need of miniaturization of devices in wearables, the antenna was compacted from 2.4 GHz to 900 MHz frequency, without increasing the size of the antenna. Mechanical characterization of the flexible antenna demonstrated the feasibility of the fabricated antenna to sense various bending and stretching stresses.
