Biomimicry is the art of robotics mimicking systems in nature and could potentially include evolutionarily optimized skin and nervous systems of living organisms. This potential artificial skin application for soft polymeric gel sensors may be used in damaged skin replacement, prosthetics, or other soft robotic applications. Characterization of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) sensing in static planar orientations has been performed in prior studies. However, further testing is required to understand this mechanoelectrical transduction and its dependence on surface orientation and loading condition. PVC gel sensing capabilities under varying surface morphologies and loading conditions are unknown. This characterization is critical because it will determine practical operating conditions and applications for PVC gel sensors. The goal of this study is to analyze the electrical response of PVC gels in planar and curved surface orientations at static and dynamic loading conditions with novel elect
