Force-Sensing Resistor
Also known as: FSR, Force Sensor
A sensor that decreases in electrical resistance when physical pressure is applied to its surface. Force-sensing resistors are commonly used in assistive technology and accessibility applications to create pressure-sensitive input devices, haptic feedback systems, and adaptive controllers. They enable alternative interaction methods for users who may have difficulty with traditional input devices, and are used in research prototypes for tactile communication systems.
