Tactile sensing and computing on a random network of conducting fluid channels

Emerging Technologies 2020-03-30 v1

Abstract

Liquid electronic sensors are typically based on regular arrays of channels filled with a conductive liquid. We propose that a random planar network of conducting liquid allows us for a wider spectrum of electrical responses and localisation of tactile stimuli. We also speculate that a computation protocol can be implemented on such a network, featuring mechanical inputs and electrical outputs. Our results pave a way towards future developments on sensing and computing wearables with disordered sensing networks structure.
