Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen01:14

Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

443
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Somatosensation01:33

Somatosensation

38.6K
The somatosensory system relays sensory information from the skin, mucous membranes, limbs, and joints. Somatosensation is more familiarly known as the sense of touch. A typical somatosensory pathway includes three types of long neurons: primary, secondary, and tertiary. Primary neurons have cell bodies located near the spinal cord in groups of neurons called dorsal root ganglia. The sensory neurons of ganglia innervate designated areas of skin called dermatomes.

Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Robotics
  • Sensor Technology

Background:

  • Traditional tactile sensors struggle with quantitative force-electrical response and hysteresis, limiting linear range and speed.
  • Enhanced linear range and response speed are vital for real-time tactile perception and simplified signal processing.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop novel Composite Parallel Tactile Sensors (CPTS) that overcome limitations of traditional sensors.
  • To achieve synergistic enhancement of linear range and response speed in tactile sensing.

Main Methods:

  • Inspired by parallel structures, CPTS utilize parallel elastomers for precise deformation control.
  • Characterization of sensing range, linear response regions, sensitivity, and dynamic recovery hysteresis.

Main Results:

  • CPTS demonstrate a wide sensing range up to 450 kPa with three distinct linear regions.
  • Significantly reduced dynamic recovery hysteresis and enhanced rapid response (48 ms response, 39 ms recovery).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed CPTS offer excellent dynamic response and a broad linear sensing range.
  • Demonstrated broad applicability in physiological monitoring, object recognition, and robotic multi-axis torque decoupling.
