Flexible tactile sensors have attracted significant interest in robotics, medical monitoring, and wearable devices. This paper presents a capacitive flexible tactile sensor that employs a nickel carbonyl powder (NCP)-silicone rubber (SR) composite for pressure and bending sensing, fabricated using magnetic field curing. The performance of the sensor is evaluated independently for pressure and bending sensing, including sensitivity, response time, repeatability, and cyclic stability.
