Abstract
Embodiments in accordance with the present disclosure include apparatuses, devices, and methods. For example, an apparatus includes an electronic force sensor having a first opposing electrode and a second opposing electrode. The first and second opposing electrodes are configured to generate an output indicative of a force applied to the electronic force sensor. The electronic force sensor further includes a plurality of recoverably-deformable structures arranged between the first and the second opposing electrodes and having a plurality of conductive-resistive elements. Each of the recoverably-deformable structures including at least one of a variable conductor and a variable resistor and configured and arranged with attributes that set a force sensitivity of the electronic force sensor.
