Abstract :
Preliminary results are presented on a solid-state water vapor sensor which is being considered for applications in robotics. The surface conductivity response produced by physical adsorption of water vapor on a glass surface used as the detection principle. A specific, sensitive, reversible conductivity response is observed at water vapor concentrations higher than 40% RH (relative humidity)
