Abstract

This work presents a dual purpose sensor for collecting proximity and tactile information by using a composite with dielectric elastomer (DE) and Carbon Micro Coils (CMC). CMC is a coil-like carbon microstructure with the size of several hundred micrometers, and its electrical characteristics change with the distance between the object or via physical contact. Especially, the impedance change of the composite depending on the distance can be used as the principle for proximity sensing. We present a method to process the materials by using dielectric materials and additives. A prototype of the sensor is fabricated and its feasibility is experimentally validated.
