| Abstrak/Abstract |
Soft robotics gained much attention due to the capabilities of a wide range of movement, high degree of freedom, and wearability. Soft robots consist of soft sensors and actuators. Soft and stretchable sensors have potential in wearable devices, for example, to detect human motion, health monitoring, and wearable humidity monitoring. High-performance stretchable sensors should be stable and reliable. Reliable stretchable sensors can preserve their sensitivity while sustaining large deformations and durability for millions of cycles. Many researchers have reported rapid prototyping of stretchable sensors using pad printing, Supersonic cluster beam, Langmuir Schaefer, and CNT-Silicone composite. However, this method requires specialized equipment and specific skills to operate the equipment. In this research, we aim to simplify the fabrication methods of stretchable sensors by using a commercialized additive manufacturing process. These types of manufacturing processes include FDM and SLA. The challenge of these methods is the end product. Usually the stretchable material produced by using FDM and SLA is less stretchable and has high hysteresis. To overcome these problems, we perform both material modifications and review the material pattern. We expect our methods can contribute to the simple and reliable fabrication methods for stretchable sensors. |
