OptoSkin sensors detect touch and pressure using time-of-flight technology in wave guides, suggesting innovation in sensor applications.
We propose OptoSkin, a novel type of sensor for touch and pressure detection. It is based on direct Time-of-Flight (dToF) measurements of light propagated within wave guides due to Total Internal Reflection (TIR). It shows great potential for applications like robotic sensor skins for being compact, cheap and easy to fabricate.
