The research team of Professor Jae-young Park (Department of Electronic Engineering) has successfully developed a breathable, high-performance, flexible triboelectric nanogenerator and a powerless wearable tactile sensor using porous nano-materials and substrates. The developed sensor enables efficient heat dissipation and sweat evaporation at the skin-sensor interface, enhancing user comfort for extended periods and minimizing the risk of inflammation. The breathable tactile sensor developed in this research can be widely utilized in various wearable systems such as electronic skin, human-machine interfaces, and soft robotics.
