MIT shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its own bending and twisting
Original: Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its own movement as it bends and twists
MIT researchers have developed a sheet-like material that can digitally sense and track its own shape in real time as it bends and twists, without external cameras or sensors. The work points toward applications in robotics, wearable devices and soft electronics, where knowing a structure's deformation is essential. Readers on technology forums are discussing the engineering behind the material and its potential uses.
Why now: A novel MIT material that self-monitors its deformation is a striking advance in soft sensing and robotics.
