Abstract

Development of artificial or robotic skin implementing optical touch sensors is considered. Integration of polymeric optical fibers in elastomeric nanocomposite matrix biomimicking human skin specification as flexibility and largearea sensing is presented. The sensing principle is directly linked to deformation of the polymeric optical fiber itself under applied weight solicitations.
