Abstract
deposited micropatterned PDMS. Resulting tribo-sensor demonstrates remarkable motion and force sensitivity. It can also distinguish subtle human contact force that can simulate skin with high sensitivity and therefore, can be utilized for potential e-skin/bionic skin applications in health and human-machine interfaces.
