Abstract :
In this study, we propose tactile sensors array in fabric form where an energy harvester and tactile sensors are integrated as a single device. The device is composed of flexible hollow tubes, piezoelectric straps and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) films. The hollow tubes and piezoelectric PVDF straps are woven by forming a fabric form. We present the measured output power during energy harvester mode and tactile sensor response during sensor mode.
