๐ What we explored:
– Designed ฮฉ-shaped flexible sensors using conductive ink to reduce strain mismatches on inflatable robots
– Developed a light-curing transfer method for precise sensor attachment
– Tested integration with balloon-type robots showing improved deformation tracking at >300% expansion
๐ฉบ Our sensor system has the potential to enable:
๐น Real-time inflation tracking for safer human-robot interaction
๐น Spatial perception in biomedical devices (catheters, surgical tools)
๐น 5x reduction in circumference/area error vs. conventional designs
