“…2 E, an F –Δ C relationship was established, and hysteresis was observed. The hysteresis was caused by the required recovery time of PDMS deformation, which can also be found in related works 26 , 27 . Nevertheless, because the recovery time of PDMS was announced at approximately 1 s 20 , which was sufficiently short between two consecutive shots in badminton games, in this study, we adopted the onward F –Δ C relationship as the database and linearly interpolated values in the range of 0–3 N were used.…”

Two capacitive sensing units were designed, fabricated, and embedded into two corresponding fingerstalls through microelectronic and additive manufacturing with flexible materials and ergonomic considerations in this study. The sensing units were routed to an adaptor, which in turn was routed to a transmission port (comprising a signal converter and a Bluetooth module), realizing a wearable and wireless force sensing system for sports science applications as the objective. The collected capacitive signals were converted through a preliminarily established database, indicating local force distributions on finger segments. Practical examinations with badminton actions (forehand cross-net shots) were conducted by players to show the effectiveness of the proposed system as an application example. Statistical and quantified results reflected the visual observations on valid shots (67% and 39% for the professional and amateur players, respectively) and well-controlled racket-holding attitude (19.69% and 35.31% force application difference between the first two segments of the index finger of the professional and amateur player, respectively). These proved that the proposed system outperforms existing similar systems in the market and is able to not only classify players with different skill levels but also distinguish attitude stability and controllability, showing scientific evidence in sports science for the first time.

By virtue of their wide applications in transportation, healthcare, smart home, and security, development of sensors detecting mechanical stimuli, which are many force types (pressure, shear, bending, tensile, and flexure) is an attractive research direction for promoting the advancement of science and technology. Sensing capabilities of various force types based on structural design, which combine unique structure and materials, have emerged as a highly promising field due to their various industrial applications in wearable devices, artificial skin, and Internet of Things (IoT). In this review, we focus on various sensors detecting one or two mechanical stimuli and their structure, materials, and applications. In addition, for multiforce sensing, sensing mechanism are discussed regarding responses in external stimuli such as piezoresistive, piezoelectric, and capacitance phenomena. Lastly, the prospects and challenges of sensors for multiforce sensing are discussed and summarized, along with research that has emerged.

“…The capacitive sensors are usually composed of two metallic electrodes with dielectric materials in between [23]. The capacitive pressure sensors give electrical responses as shown in equation (1) in which C, ε, A, and d are capacitance, permittivity, electrode overlapping area, and distance of two electrodes, respectively [39]:…”

In this paper, five sensing mechanisms including capacitive, piezoresistive, inductive, piezoelectric, and optical are reviewed in details with representative literature. Basic functions of normal force, shear force, shear angle, torsional angle, rotational angle; and characteristics in sensitivity, dynamic window, and spatial resolution are discussed and categorized clearly in this article. In addition, materials used in the flexible force sensors for electrodes, substrates, and deformable dielectrics are highlighted and summarized. Furthermore, structural design, specifications of sensitivity, spatial resolution, dynamic range and cyclic life are also unambiguously outlined. Meanwhile, key design considerations are listed and evaluated in this review to indicate major contributions to the characteristics of the flexible force sensors. Notable challenges, potential business, and examples commercial players in the market are listed at the end of this manuscript. This article offers a stepping stone for those who plan to enter the flexible force sensor fields by revisiting the outcomes from the past decades.
