Tactile perception is vital to the fundamental perceptual ability of human skin and is one of the primary ways in which most people obtain data from the environment. During the first several weeks after birth, a baby's eyes are not developed enough to clearly perceive the mother's face. The tactile sensing ability of an infant, on the other hand, is remarkably responsive to the mother's skin. Tactile sensing ability is incorporated into a variety of social relationships, such as handshakes and hugs. With the speedy advancement of flexible electronics, robotic technologies, and artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years, the demand for friendly and safe communication between humans and machines has grown. This new class of electronic component enables machines to interact with the environment with attendant benefits for healthcare monitoring, robotics and other applications. Tactile sensors are a new class of electronic components that enable machines to interact with their environment. Conformable flexible tactile sensors have enabled friendly interaction between machines and humans, or between machines. When designing a particular flexible tactile sensor, special attention should be paid to device construction, manufacturing costs and power consumption.
