A Reconfigurable Omnidirectional Triboelectric Whisker Sensor Array for Versatile Human–Machine–Environment Interaction (IMAGE)
Caption
- Dual-triangular electrode layout with MXene/silicone nanocomposite achieves quite competitive omnidirectional force detection (threshold: 0.024 N) and angular resolution (5°) using only two electrodes.
- Based on a newly designed hydrogel combining high mechanical robustness and superior water absorption, the untethered hydro-sealing vacuum sucker can achieve robust and reversible anchoring on diverse surfaces with a compact structure, maintaining a consistently high anchoring force for more than 200 cycles with a single rehydration.
- The reconfigurable omnidirectional triboelectric whisker sensor array demonstrates exceptional performance in real-world applications, including teleoperation, adjustable robotic arm palpation, and robotic autonomous environmental exploration, validating its potential as a universal interface for dynamic human–machine–environment interactions.
