A Study of Highly Sensitive Wearable Strain Sensor Based on Graphical Sensitive Units

The sensitivity improvement is the choke point of the soft strain sensor’s development. This paper focuses on heightening the soft strain sensor’s sensitivity through changing the sensitive unit’s shape. The sensitive units in shape of square or sine wave with different periods were studied in this...
