  • Deformable sensor for simulating skin and other applications
    Patent number: 11898924
    Abstract: A sensor unit to be incorporated in a skin-like layer of machines such as robots employs a set of sensor electrodes supported in a first deformable sheet and a base electrode supported in a second deformable sheet, each of the sensor electrodes partially overlapping the base electrode so that application of a shear force causes the overlap of the electrodes to differentially change modifying the capacitance of the electrodes and permitting the detection of the shear force.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: May 7, 2021
    Date of Patent: February 13, 2024
    Assignee: The University of British Columbia
    Inventors: Mirza Saquib Sarwar, John D. W. Madden, Garth Eden Claire Preston
