  • Sensor system for determining the shape of a deformable structure
    Patent number: 12268491
    Abstract: A sensor system comprising: a deformable structure; a plurality of electrodes operably connectable to the deformable structure; an electrical conductor operably connected to the deformable structure and electrically couplable to each of the electrodes; a current source connectable to predetermined electrodes; a current injector for injecting current from the current source through predetermined electrodes; a voltage recorder for recording the voltage between predetermined pairs of electrodes; and an analyser for analysing voltage recordings to thereby determine the shape of the deformable structure.
    Type: Grant
