Recent Progress on Flexible Multimodal Sensors: Decoupling Strategies, Fabrication and Applications

Flexible multimodal sensors have garnered significant attention in research areas such as electronic skin, advanced robotics, and personalized health monitoring due to their ability to leverage the complementary advantages of diverse sensing units, thereby a primary decoupling strategy exploits differences in the fundamental types of signals generated. Nevertheless, flexible multimodal sensors persistently face challenges like signal crosstalk and complex integration processes, which constrain their performance. This review delineates recent advances in flexible multimodal sensor decoupling through fundamental material design guided by physical principles, structural design, and AI-driven signal decoupling…
