Researchers at @nyuniversity have developed e-Flesh, a tactile sensor to capture subtle deformations during physical interaction. Check out their open source data and guidance!.
We have developed a new tactile sensor, called e-Flesh, with a simple working principle: measure deformations in 3D printable microstructures. Now all you need to make tactile sensors is a 3D printer, magnets, and magnetometers! 🧵
