ABSTRACT
This paper reports a microfabricated triaxial capacitive force sensor. The sensor is fully encapsulated with inert and biocompatible glass (fused silica) material. The sensor comprises two glass plates, on which four capacitors are located. The sensor is intended for subdermal implantation in fingertips and palms and providing tactile sensing capabilities for patients with paralyzed hands. Additional electronic components, such as passives and IC chips, can also be integrated with the sensor in a hermetic glass package to achieve an implantable tactile sensing system. Through attachment to a human palm, the sensor has been shown to respond appropriately to typical hand actions, such as squeezing or picking up a bottle.
