Examples
To verify the validity of the inventive scheme, the following simulation experiment was performed.
A high-precision planar piezoresistive sensor system comprises a planar piezoresistive sensor 1, electrodes 2 arranged on the edge of the piezoresistive sensor 1 and an external computer 4. In this embodiment, the sensing material of the planar piezoresistive sensor 1 is conductive rubber, the electrodes 2 arranged at the edge have 4 groups, resistance changes under different positions and pressures of the 4 groups of electrodes and corresponding pressure action positions and size information are measured and recorded to obtain a data set, and the data set is input into the external computer 4. The external computer 4 performs BP neural network training and then predicts the pressure action position and size.
As shown in fig. 5, under the condition that the input signal precision is 0.1 Ω, the prediction precision of the positioning after training the BP neural network is less than 0.006cm in both the X direction and the Y direction, and the prediction deviation of the pressure P is less than 1.6 kPa. The BP neural network model has stable prediction accuracy at different positions and different pressure ranges, and has good uniformity and linear characteristics.
