摘要
This study investigates accessible and sensitive electrode solutions for detecting touches and squeezes on soft interfaces based on commercially available conductive polyurethane foam. Various electrode materials and configurations are explored, and for electrodes made of conductive threads, the static and dynamic electrical behaviors are studied in depth. In contrast to existing approaches that aim to minimize or stabilize contact resistance, we propose leveraging contact resistance to significantly enhance sensing sensitivity. Suggestions for future researchers and developers when building squeeze sensors based on this material are provided. Our findings offer insights for DIY enthusiasts and researchers, enabling them to develop sensitive soft interfaces for touch and squeeze interactions in an affordable and accessible manner and provide a completely soft user experience.
