Smart touch sensors are used in many applications, such as the iPhone and some smart home systems. Recent touch sensors perform well in consumer electrical devices; however, there are some drawbacks. For example, most touch sensors have low accuracy for detecting human movements. Many require significant power and have a fixed shape. We propose a flexible, highly accurate, and energy-conserving touch sensor. Our primary contributions are as follows: (1) an energy-conserving touch sensor is developed and tested experimentally; (2) a flexible and arbitrarily shaped touch sensor is designed; and (3) the manufacturing cost is very low and up to 200 touch sensors can be connected to the system. As a result, this energy-conserving touch sensor can be fabricated using common manufacturing processes for consumer electronic devices.
