At present, the preparation of laser-induced graphene (LIG) has become an important technology in sensor manufacturing. In the conventional preparation process, the CO 2 laser is widely used; however, its experimental period is long and its efficiency needs to be improved. We propose an innovative strategy to improve the experimental efficiency. We use the machine learning method to accurately predict the preparation parameters of LIG, so as to optimize the experimental process. Different structures can lead to different sensor performances. The structure constructed by the CO 2 laser is rough and has a large size, which can affect the performance of the sensor. Therefore, we propose for the first time an innovative method for intramembrane structure construction that combines the advantages of the CO 2 laser and fiber laser (CF-L). With this CF-L method, we have successfully prepared a biomimetic, flexible strain sensor. This sensor not only maintains a high degree of sensitivity, but also has a more refined and optimized structure. The manufacturing process of the whole sensor is simple, economical, and durable and can be prepared in large quantities and can be used to detect the extension and bending of human joints.

Flexible electronics is a cutting-edge field that has paved the way for artificial tactile systems that mimic biological functions of sensing mechanical stimuli. These systems have an immense potential to enhance human–machine interactions (HMIs). However, tactile sensing still faces formidable challenges in delivering precise and nuanced feedback, such as achieving a high sensitivity to emulate human touch, coping with environmental variability, and devising algorithms that can effectively interpret tactile data for meaningful interactions in diverse contexts. In this review, we summarize the recent advances of tactile sensory systems, such as piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, and triboelectric tactile sensors. We also review the state-of-the-art fabrication techniques for artificial tactile sensors. Next, we focus on the potential applications of HMIs, such as intelligent robotics, wearable devices, prosthetics, and medical healthcare. Finally, we conclude with the challenges and future development trends of tactile sensors.
