Large-area sensing for hands-on detection

The data includes the spatial performance of a compliant large-area tactile sensor for hands-on detection.  The performance was evaluated from simulation studies and experiments.  The simulation of a rectangular sensing medium was conducted in the context of tactile sensing, by creating a simulated stimulus with a square shape.  The intensity and area of the stimulus was described by the relative change in conductivity and the length of the square.  The experiments including indentation tests and hand touch tests were conducted over a flat surface and over the curved surface a wheel rim, respectively.   The indentation tests evaluated the spatial performance of a real EIT sensor.  The hand touch test evaluated the performance in hands-on detection.
