Electrode and shielding systems and methods for compliant sensors

A compliant three-electrode stack sensor comprising:

• a first cover dielectric layer comprising an elastomeric material and configured to substantially cover a first side of a top electrode layer;
• the top electrode layer comprising an elastomeric material with conductive material integrated within;
• a second dielectric layer comprising an elastomeric material in contact with a second side of the top electrode layer, and configured to allow electrical contact to a perimeter electrode region of a signal electrode layer;
• the signal electrode layer having a first side in contact with the second dielectric layer and comprising an elastomeric material with conducting material confined to at least one sensor region, at least one trace connected to the at least one sensor, and the perimeter electrode region;
• a third dielectric layer in contact with a second side of the signal electrode layer and comprising an elastomeric material and configured to allow electrical contact to the perimeter electrode region of the signal electrode layer;
• a bottom electrode layer in contact with a second side of the third dielectric layer and comprising an elastomeric material with conductive material integrated within;
• and
• a second cover dielectric layer comprising an elastomeric material and configured to substantially cover a second side of the bottom electrode layer.

A multi-region compliant angular displacement sensor system comprising:

• a first compliant sensor;
• a second compliant sensor;
• and
• an elastomeric connector coupling the first compliant sensor to the second compliant sensor.
