Tactile or electronic skin is needed to provide critical haptic perception to robots and amputees, as well as in wearable electronic systems that are used for health monitoring and wellness applications. Energy autonomy of skin is a critical factor in these application to enable portability and longer operation times. This lecture will present an energy autonomous electronic skin based on a novel structure, consisting of graphene based transparent tactile sensitive layer integrated on photovoltaic cells. Transparency of the touch sensitive layer allows the photovoltaic cell to effectively harvest light. The touch sensitive layer requires ultralow power (20 nW/cm2) for its operation and this leads to surplus energy generation by the photovoltaic cells underneath. The lecture will also present our advanced version of electronic skin, where no touch sensor is used and yet the innovative arrangement of solar cells allows touch sensing from large areas. Given that there is not separate touch sensor, this advanced version of electronics skin does not consume any energy for sensing operation and instead only produces energy. If this skin is present over large areas, as human skin is present over whole body, then it could generate sufficient energy to power devices such as actuators used in robotics and prosthetics. Such scenarios enabled by the energy autonomous electronics skin integrated on robotic hand will be presented in the lecture along with the tasks such as grabbing of soft objects.
nanoGe is a prestigious brand of successful science conferences that are developed along the year in different areas of the world since 2009. Our worldwide conferences cover cutting-edge materials topics like perovskite solar cells, photovoltaics, optoelectronics, solar fuel conversion, surface science, catalysis and two-dimensional materials, among many others.
Previously nanoGe Spring Meeting (NSM) and nanoGe Fall Meeting (NFM), MATSUS is a multiple symposia conference focused on a broad set of topics of advanced materials preparation, their fundamental properties, and their applications, in fields such as renewable energy, photovoltaics, lighting, semiconductor quantum dots, 2-D materials synthesis, charge carriers dynamics, microscopy and spectroscopy semiconductors fundamentals, etc.
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics
International Conference on Hybrid and Organic Photovoltaics (HOPV) is celebrated yearly in May. The main topics are the development, function and modeling of materials and devices for hybrid and organic solar cells. The field is now dominated by perovskite solar cells but also other hybrid technologies, as organic solar cells, quantum dot solar cells, and dye-sensitized solar cells and their integration into devices for photoelectrochemical solar fuel production.
Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics
The main topics of the Asia-Pacific International Conference on Perovskite, Organic Photovoltaics and Optoelectronics (IPEROP) are discussed every year in Asia-Pacific for gathering the recent advances in the fields of material preparation, modeling and fabrication of perovskite and hybrid and organic materials. Photovoltaic devices are analyzed from fundamental physics and materials properties to a broad set of applications. The conference also covers the developments of perovskite optoelectronics, including light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
The International Conference on Perovskite Thin Film Photovoltaics Perovskite Photonics and Optoelectronics (NIPHO) is the best place to hear the latest developments in perovskite solar cells as well as on recent advances in the fields of perovskite light-emitting diodes, lasers, optical devices, nanophotonics, nonlinear optical properties, colloidal nanostructures, photophysics and light-matter coupling.
