Abstract
A sensing system includes a stretchable base material, a plurality of electrodes, a capacitive sensing channel and a controller. The stretchable base material has a resistance distribution that changes in response to being mechanically deformed as a result of a human body contact. The base material has a rebound elasticity. The electrodes are attached to a perimeter of the base material, the capacitive sensing channel is attached to the base material. The controller is operatively connected to the plurality of electrodes and the capacitive sensing channel. The controller is configured to measure instantaneous voltage measurements from the plurality of electrodes, and determine whether the base material is mechanically deformed based on the instantaneous voltage measurements using a support vector machine classifier.
