N2 - The proposed device is a piezoresistive sensor that converts mechanical energy from robot finger's movement into electrical energy to be used as feedback for sensing. The device consists of a piezoresistive layer with two upper interconnected fractals. The generated voltage versus the input force, as well as the current-voltage characteristic of the device, are extracted from the simulation result. The major advantage provided by this device is a high sensitivity of sensing objects in the surrounding.
