Abstract

The present invention provides a transparent and flexible electronic skin with three-dimensional sensing capability. The electronic skin comprises: a substrate; an transparent and flexible electric field sensor disposed on the substrate; a control circuit disposed on the substrate; and a transparent and flexible protective layer encapsulating the electric field sensor and the control circuit. The electric field sensor includes a transmitter electrode; one or more receiver electrodes; and dielectric layer arranged between the transmitter electrode and receiver electrodes. The control circuit is connected to the electric field sensor and configured to: drive the transmitter electrode to transmit a reference signal to establish a quasi-static electrical near field; and process one or more measurement signals received by the one or more receiver electrodes respectively, each measurement signal is indicative of a distortion of the quasi-static electrical near field due to proximity of an object.
