1. A fabric-based pressure sensor array, comprising:

  • a first layer including M elongated conductive strips coated thereon;

    a second layer including N elongated conductive strips coated thereon, the M elongated conductive strips extending crosswise relative to the N elongated conductive strips to define M x N intersections; and

    a unitary textile sheet extending between the first layer and the second layer so as to overlap the M×

    N intersections, the textile sheet having a variable resistivity in response to applied pressure so as to define M×

    N pressure sensors at locations corresponding to the M×

    N intersections.
