摘要

This paper presents the development and evaluation of an embroidery textile tactile sensor, designed for advanced pressure mapping applications. Utilizing a unique embroidery technique with conductive threads and incorporating a Velostat piezoresistive layer, the sensor array is configured in an 8 \(\times \) 8 grid, offering multiple contact detection over large areas. The sensor’s performance is validated through several experiments, including quasi-static loading and pressure mapping with various weights and hand gestures. This research proposes a flexible, scalable solution for tactile sensing that is both cost-effective and high-performing. The findings indicate significant potential for the sensor in real-world applications, promising advancements in how tactile information is captured and utilized.
