A novel method to produce porous pressure‐sensitive rubber is developed. For the controlled size distribution of embedded micropores, solution‐based procedures using reverse micelles are adopted. The piezosensitivity of the pressure sensitive rubber is significantly increased by introducing micropores. Using this method, wearable human–machine interfaces are fabricated, which can be applied to the remote control of a robot.
