Triboelectric tactile sensor for pressure and temperature sensing in high-temperature applications

Abstract Skin-like sensors capable of detecting multiple stimuli simultaneously have great potential in cutting-edge human-machine interaction. However, realizing multimodal tactile recognition beyond human tactile perception still faces significant challenges. Here, an extreme environments-adaptive...

description Abstract Skin-like sensors capable of detecting multiple stimuli simultaneously have great potential in cutting-edge human-machine interaction. However, realizing multimodal tactile recognition beyond human tactile perception still faces significant challenges. Here, an extreme environments-adaptive multimodal triboelectric sensor was developed, capable of detecting pressure/temperatures beyond the range of human perception. Based on triboelectric nanogenerator technology, an asymmetric structure capable of independently outputting dual signals was designed to improve perception sensitivity. By converting the signals and the stimuli into feature matrices, parallel perception of complex objects (with a recognition rate of 94%) and temperature at high temperatures was achieved. The proposed multimodal triboelectric tactile sensor represents progress in maximum detection range and rapid response, realizing the upper limit of human skin’s high-temperature sensing (60 °C) with a working temperature of 200 °C. The proposed self-powered multimodal sensing system offers a wider range of possibilities for human/robot/environment interaction applications.
