Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of electronic skin, in particular to a flexible electrode, electronic skin, a casing of a device, a mechanical arm and a robot. Background technique [0002] Currently, the main method for mechanical devices to detect approaching objects is through physical contact between the housing and the object. Taking the contact-type resistive shell as an example, the resistive shell relies on the proximity of the object to contact the robot to cause the deformation of the shell, and sends a contact signal representing the deformation. However, if the approaching object does not directly contact the electronic skin, the mechanical device cannot realize the non-contact distance detection of the approaching object, and when the mechanical device is in motion, the contact between the mechanical device and the object may easily cause damage to the object. [0003] For example, the application is: the housing, hou...
