Piezoresistive Sensor Based on Micrographite-Glass Thick Films † [PDF]
A new Pb-free glass containing several oxides (Bi(2)O(3), B(2)O(3), SiO(2), Al(2)O(3) and ZnO) with sintering temperature reduced down to 600 °C has been developed for applications in a piezoresistive pressure sensor. Using this low sintering temperature

A Piezoresistive Sensor to Measure Muscle Contraction and Mechanomyography [PDF]
Measurement of muscle contraction is mainly achieved through electromyography (EMG) and is an area of interest for many biomedical applications, including prosthesis control and human machine interface. However, EMG has some drawbacks, and there are also alternative methods for measuring muscle activity, such as by monitoring the mechanical variations ...

A Chipless Piezoresistive Strain Sensor
Strain sensors are widely used in various applications and, depending on the specific application, it is necessary they operate completely wireless. The first step for the realization of a wireless strain sensor is the choice of the transducing material. Piezoresistive materials, whose surface impedance varies when a mechanical stimulus is applied, are

Flexible Graphite-on-Paper Piezoresistive Sensors [PDF]
We demonstrate novel graphite-on-paper piezoresistive devices. The graphite was used as sensing component. The fabrication process can be finished in a short time with simple tools (e.g., a scissor and a pencil). A small array of six paper-based piezoresistive devices is made. The whole device is flexible.

Comparison of Piezoresistive Monofilament Polymer Sensors [PDF]
The development of flexible polymer monofilament fiber strain sensors have many applications in both wearable computing (clothing, gloves, etc.) and robotics design (large deformation control). For example, a high-stretch monofilament sensor could be integrated into robotic arm design, easily stretching over joints or along curved surfaces.

Slippage Detection with Piezoresistive Tactile Sensors [PDF]
One of the crucial actions to be performed during a grasping task is to avoid slippage. The human hand can rapidly correct applied forces and prevent a grasped object from falling, thanks to its advanced tactile sensing. The same capability is hard to reproduce in artificial systems, such as robotic or prosthetic hands, where sensory motor coordination
