An intelligent skin based on a small-size distributed optical fiber sensing array. The intelligent skin includes an epidermis sensing array, an embedded optical fiber sensing array, a data collection system module, and a data processing mode recognition module. The body of the intelligent skin is made of a flexible material. The embedded optical fiber sensing array in an epidermis includes a plurality of all-fiber interferomatic sensing arrays. The data collection system module includes a broadband light source, an optical combiner/splitter, an optical path change-over switch, a signal detector and a computer. The data processing mode recognition module includes mode recognition and training of a neural network. The intelligent skin further includes an external display software used to perform intelligent sensing recognition for sense of touch, position, shape, and ingredient, temperature and vibration of an object and so on.

Intelligent skin based on small-size distributed optical fiber sensing array

An intelligent optical fiber tactile sounding system and a method thereof, and belongs to the field of intelligent optical fiber sensing. The system includes a flexible optical fiber tactile sensing array, a photoelectric detection system, an intelligent pressure analysis software and an acoustic emission system; a small-scale distributed tactile sensing array is constructed by embedding a fiber-core mismatched optical fiber interferometric sensor into a flexible substrate material and performing sensing region division for an asymmetrical structure with an optical fiber structure as a delimiting line; a tactile sensor transmits tactile signals to the photoelectric detection system in the form of optical signals, the photoelectric detection system inputs these pressure signals into the intelligent pressure analysis software to determine a region and a size of a tactile source, and then sends an instruction to the acoustic emission system to enable the acoustic emission system to emit different sounds.
