Abstract
Recent advances in nanomaterials technology create the new possibility to fabricate high performance sensors. However, there has been limitations in terms of multivariate measurable and interoperable sensors. In this study, we fabricated an interoperable silver nanoparticle sensor fabricated by an aerodynamically focused nanomaterial (AFN) printing system which is a direct printing technique for inorganic nanomaterials onto a flexible substrate. The printed sensor exhibited the maximum measurable frequency of 850 Hz, and a gauge factor of 290.62. Using a fabricated sensor, we evaluated the sensing performance and demonstrated the measurement independency of strain and vibration sensing. Furthermore, using the proposed signal separation algorithm based on the Kalman filter, strain and vibration were each measured in real time. Finally, we applied the printed sensor to quadrotor condition monitoring to predict the motion of a quadrotor.
