Tactile sensors are widely used in the electronic industry.
In
the following research work, we proposed a tactile sensor based on
indium zinc oxide (IZO) electrodes and used neutrosophic statistics
to analyze the capacitance and resistance of the tactile sensor. The
tactile sensor was fabricated by depositing the IZO electrodes on
a polycarbonate substrate (a thin layer). The IZO was characterized
through X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron
microscopy (FESEM), and ultraviolet–visible (UV–vis)
spectroscopy techniques. The sensor’s electrical properties
were characterized using an LCR meter, i.e., capacitance and resistance
were measured in intervals with respect to changes in the applied
force on the sensor at 1 kHz operational frequency. The sensor expressed
high sensitivity with quick response and recovery times. The sensor
also expressed long-term stability. For the analysis of capacitance
and resistance, two statistical approaches, i.e., classical and neutrosophic
approaches, were applied, and the better analysis approach for the
sensor was found.
