Flexible tactile sensors show promise for artificial intelligence applications due to their biological adaptability and rapid signal perception. Triboelectric sensors enable active dynamic tactile sensing, while integrating static pressure sensing and real-time multichannel signal transmission is key for further development. Here, we propose an integrated structure combining a capacitive sensor for static spatiotemporal mapping and a triboelectric sensor for dynamic tactile recognition. A liquid metal-based flexible dual-mode triboelectric-capacitive-coupled tactile sensor (TCTS) array of 4 × 4 pixels achieves a spatial resolution of 7 mm, exhibiting a pressure detection limit of 0.8 Pa and a fast response of 6 ms. Furthermore, neuromorphic computing using the MXene-based synaptic transistor achieves 100% recognition accuracy of handwritten numbers/letters within 90 epochs based on dynamic triboelectric signals collected by the TCTS array, and cross-spatial information communication from the perceived multichannel tactile data is realized in the mixed reality space. The results illuminate considerable application possibilities of dual-mode tactile sensing technology in human-machine interfaces and advanced robotics.
