Abstract

Tactile sensors, which are commonly referred to as pressure and strain sensors, have been extensively investigated to meet the demands for attachable and wearable electronics for monitoring the health status or activity of human users. For this purpose, the introduction of two-dimensional (2D) materials such as graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) with high mechanical strength at the atomic scale is very suitable for tactile sensors applicable for use in human-friendly devices. In this paper, we examine a descriptive summary of a tactile sensor and review state-of- the-art research trends of 2D material-based tactile sensors in terms of the material and architecture. Finally, we propose a roadmap for future studies into advanced tactile sensors based on our ongoing research.
