“…Using printing techniques, sensor implementations based on [18], silver [19], PEDOT:PSS [20], and carbon nanotubes [21] have been demonstrated. In general, these strain gauges have been fabricated on polymeric substrates, e.g., polyimide [22], polyamide [20], or poly-dimethyl-siloxane (PDMS) [17]. All these sensors have in common that the strain gauge is fixed to a test device by an adhesive layer.…”

We provide an overview on our recent work on embedded printed transducers. This includes the description of appropriate technologies as well as technological considerations for the integration of sensors and actuators into polymer coatings, e.g., of sheet metal. In particular, the integration of capacitive large area sensors, piezo-and pyroelectric layers, and strain gauges is discussed. The devised concept has the potential to introduce additional functionality to a variety of products without the need of significant changes to associated production processes.

“…[8,35] Microstructures on PDMS allow it to elastically deform on application of an external force, thereby storing and releasing the energy eventually leading to the reduction of the viscoelastic creep. Besides PDMS, other polymers such as polyimide, [34] co-polymers such as P(VDF-TrFE) [36,37] has also been used as dielectric for pressure sensing applications. Other materials that have been investigated as dielectric material for flexible electronics applications include polymer composites comprising of nanofillers, high-K dielectric materials and liquid ion gels.…”

Flexible electronics has huge potential to bring revolution in robotics and prosthetics as well as to bring about the next big evolution in electronics industry. In robotics and related applications, it is expected to revolutionise the way with which machines interact with humans, real-world objects and the environment. For example, the conformable electronic or tactile skin on robot's body, enabled by advances in flexible electronics, will allow safe robotic interaction during physical contact of robot with various objects. Developing a conformable, bendable and stretchable electronic system requires distributing electronics over large non-planar surfaces and movable components. The current research focus in this direction is marked by the use of novel materials or by the smart engineering of the traditional materials to develop new sensors, electronics on substrates that can be wrapped around curved surfaces. Attempts are being made to achieve flexibility/stretchability in e-skin while retaining a reliable operation. This review provides insight into various materials that have been used in the development of flexible electronics primarily for e-skin applications.

“…Another approach for obtaining e-skin (and flexible electronics, in general) involves printing of active/passive sensing and electronics components on the flexible substrates [8,13,14]. There are numerous examples where this type of approach has been used to obtain both active and passive electronic components.…”

Abstract-Technological advances have enabled various approaches for developing artificial organs such as bionic eyes, artificial ears, and lungs etc. Recently electronics (e-skin) or tactile skin has attracted increasing attention for its potential to detect subtle pressure changes, which may open up applications including real-time health monitoring, minimally invasive surgery, and prosthetics. The development of e-skin is challenging as, unlike other artificial organs, tactile skin has large number of different types of sensors, which are distributed over large areas and generate large amount of data. On top of this, the attributes such as softness, stretchability, and bendability etc., are difficult to be achieved as today's electronics technology is meant for electronics on planar and stiff substrates such as silicon wafers. This said, many advances, pursued through "More than Moore" technology, have recently raised hope as some of these relate to flexible electronics and have been targeted towards developing e-skin. Depending on the technology and application, the scale of eskin could vary from small patch (e.g. for health monitoring) to large area skin (e.g. for robotics). This invited paper presents some of the advances in large area e-skin and flexible electronics, particularly related to robotics.
