The development of flexible and sensitive piezoresistive sensors for artificial skin applications has been attractive in recent years. CNT-PDMS (carbon nanotube-polydimethylsiloxane) nanocomposites are widely known as one of the candidates for such sensors, and the pore structure of CNT-PDMS nanocomposites has been shown to significantly affect the sensing behavior. The fabrication method using a dissolvable template such as sugar is effective. In this study, we aim to develop "in-sensor computing," in which the CNT-PDMS composite itself recognizes objects. We fabricated a CNT-PDMS sensor using a template method, performed nine object recognition tests using the fabricated piezoresistive sensor as a reservoir device (RC) and investigated the differences in the performance of the RC.
