Flexible sensing offers real-time force monitoring, presenting a versatile and effective solution for dexterous manipulation, healthcare, environmental exploration, and perception of physical properties. Nonetheless, a limitation of many existing flexible force sensors stems from their isotropic structure or material properties, preventing them from simultaneously detecting both the direction and magnitude of the applied force. Herein, a high-performance 3D force sensor based on orthogonal multimodal sensing, the cancellation principle, and the strain effect is proposed. Finite element analysis further reveals the decoupling and anti-interference mechanisms of the innovative capacitor-resistance dual-mode sensing based on a solid mechanics and electrostatic multiphysics model. The sensor demonstrates the ability to measure both the magnitude and direction of normal and shear forces in any combination using the proposed decoupling and reconstruction algorithms, showing the potential for accurately reconstructing the posture of objects.

Including sensor information in medical interventions aims to support surgeons to decide on subsequent action steps by characterizing tissue intraoperatively. With bladder cancer, an important issue is tumor recurrence because of failure to remove the entire tumor. Impedance measurements can help to classify bladder tissue and give the surgeons an indication on how much tissue to remove.

A dual-stage model for classifying Parkinson's disease severity, through a detailed analysis of Gait signals using force sensors and machine learning approaches, is proposed in this study. Parkinson's disease is the primary neurodegenerative disorder that results in a gradual reduction in motor function. Early detection and monitoring of the disease progression is highly challenging due to the gradual progression of symptoms and the inadequacy of conventional methods in identifying subtle changes in mobility.

This paper focuses on a four-capacitor flexible sensor composed of two electrode materials; also, the decoupling method and sensing performance for multimodal sensing of spatial forces and dynamic humidity are described. In previous work, decoupling of multimode sensors is mostly done by monitoring the types of signals, numerical differences of the same signal, and stacking multiple parameter-sensitive materials. This paper mainly uses the different characteristics of the two electrode materials; in the simulation and experiment of humidity, the moisture-sensitive electrode quickly wets from the outside to the inside and expands, and the contact angle quickly decreases from 58.
