Tactile feedback in biomedical applications, e.g. prosthetic artificial skin and minimally invasive surgery, requires multi-axial detection capabilities, with high sensitivity and reliability. This paper presents the fabrication, modeling and experimental characterization of a novel nanoparticle resistive-based multiaxial sensor over the range of 0-300 mN for use in tactile feedback. The fabrication uses inkjet printing, and micro-molding techniques scalable to sub millimeter dimensions. Sensitivities of 0.037%/mN in the normal, 0.036%/mN in the shear x and 0.048%/mN shear y directions respectively were achieved. Dynamic characteristics indicated minimal change in hysteresis (standard deviation - 1.2%) and response (standard deviation - 0.4%) compared with the applied load for increasing strain-rates.
