Abstract

Abstract : An array of 3D air‐assembled electronic whiskers is created parallel to or touching a fingertip by Jonathan T. Reeder and co‐workers in article number1706733, which demonstrates the ability to interact with and measure 3D topologies in a similar manner to the human finger. Microscale deflections can be sensed with a response time of <250 μs, enabling a variety of distinct sensing modes including proximity, texture mapping, surface roughness, material stiffness, force, and temperature.
