Description

Flexible sensor capable of measuring stretching and torsion
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of flexible strain sensor design, in particular to a flexible sensor capable of measuring stretching and torsion.
Background
With the development of wearable electronic devices and soft body robotics, high-performance flexible strain sensors have been widely studied. In order to study various multidimensional movements of the soft robot, such as stretching, twisting, and twisting, a sensor capable of recognizing a change in multidimensional strain is required. However, the conventional sensor has only the capability of single-direction strain detection, and lacks the capability of complex multi-dimensional strain detection, especially the detection of stretching and twisting directions, which severely limits the wide application of the sensor.
Multi-modal sensing is crucial for environmental interaction and closed-loop control of soft robots. The phenomenon of signal coupling is not uncommon in soft robotic sensing, where proprioception and haptic perception through internal and external perception are sometimes interwoven. Sensing mechanical and thermal stimuli by differentiation is also a challenging problem, with various mechanical deformations being difficult to distinguish and the sensing signals for different types of mechanical deformations being often difficult to distinguish, such as tensile, torsional and bending, etc
The measurement of the human motion posture has important application in the fields of medical treatment, military, security protection, film production and the like, and the use of a measurement system for accurately and conveniently acquiring motion parameters in the human motion process is a hot point of research in recent years. The current measurement methods for measuring the motion posture of the human body can be divided into visual sensing measurement and non-visual sensing measurement. The visual sensing measurement method is characterized in that reflective mark points are attached to human joints, and the positions of the mark points are recorded by a camera to obtain the motion information of a testee, but the visual sensing measurement can only be carried out in a certain specific test area, so that the motion space and the motion mode are greatly limited. Non-visual sensory measurement non-visual sensors are placed on the body of the measurer to eliminate the limitations of the test area and test mode. Currently, non-visual sensors such as an electrical angle measuring instrument, a gyroscope, an optical fiber sensor and the like are adopted, but the sensors are all made of rigid materials, so that the adaptability to a human body is poor, the contact problem exists, and a large measurement error can be caused.

Different from a flexible resistance-type sensor which obtains measurement data by changing the resistance value through the size of a contact surface, a flexible capacitance-type sensor generally adopts a device based on the parallel plate capacitance principle, and the capacitance of the sensor is changed by changing the distance between plate capacitors. Still take pressure sensor as an example, exert pressure through the external world, the distance between the plate capacitor diminishes, and then reachs measured data. The flexible capacitive sensor has the advantages of high sensitivity, quick response, wide dynamic range and the like. Although "flexible" is added, the nature of the flexible sensor is still the sensor, and what makes it unusual is the choice of materials. Firstly, the substrate is adopted, the flexible sensor adopts the flexible substrate, the materials are generally required to have the characteristics of lightness, thinness, transparency, stretchability, flexibility, corrosion resistance and the like, and Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) is a common flexible substrate material, has the characteristics, is easy to obtain and has stable chemical properties. Then, the conductive material, that is, the metal material, is mainly used for manufacturing the electrode and the lead, generally, the flexible sensor does not use common metal, but uses metal nano particles or nano wires, and the material has better conductivity and is easy to be realized into a thin film. Flexible sensors also use carbon materials, most of which are graphene and carbon nanotubes. The flexible sensor is one of important applications of falling to the ground of graphite alkene material, and graphite alkene is frivolous transparent and electrically conductive good, and can perfect cooperation with the flexible sensor. In addition, there are inorganic semiconductor materials and organic materials, which are mainly used to realize the characteristic functions of the sensor, and in this respect, the piezoelectric properties of the materials are an important index.
