Abstract:As a combination of fiber optics and nanotechnology, optical micro/nanofiber (MNF) is considered as an important multifunctional building block for fabricating various miniaturized photonic devices. With the rapid progress in flexible optoelectronics, MNF has been emerging as a promising candidate for assembling tactile sensors and soft actuators owing to its unique optical and mechanical properties. This review discusses the advances in MNF enabled tactile sensors and soft actuators, specifically, focusing on… Show more
