Rivestimento sensorizzato per l'interazione robotica

A sensorized coating device (100) configured for measuring external pressures acting on it, said sensorized coating device (100) comprising a flexible sensor (110) having shape substantially laminar and comprising a plurality of sensitive areas Ai,j, said flexible sensor (110) being configured for measuring, at said sensitive areas Ai,j , the presence of corresponding external pressures Pi, j EXT· The flexible sensor (110) comprises a first layer (111) comprising a number i of strips of conductive material (111') alternate to strips of non-conductive material (111'') and a second layer (112) comprising a number j of strips of conductive material (112') alternate to strips of non-conductive material (112''). The first layer (111) and said second layer (112) are arranged in a position such that the i strips of conductive material (112') of the second layer (112) overlap without physical contact to the j strips of conductive material (111') of the first layer (111) at the said sensitive areas Ai,j. The strips of conductive material (111') of the first layer (111) and the strips of conductive material (112') of the second layer (112) are connected to an electrical circuit (115). The strips of conductive material (111') of the first layer (111) are arranged to come into electrical contact with the strips of conductive material (112') of the second layer (112) at determined sensitive areas Ai,j in consequence of determined external pressures Pi, j EXT acting on the determined sensitive areas Ai,j, said electrical contact closing the electrical circuit (115) and generating a voltage at the ends of two strips of conductive material (111', 112') in electrical contact to each other, in order to generate contact signals reporting information about the presence of said external pressures Pi, j EXT and their spatial position on the flexible sensor (110).
