Wireless Sensors

The ability to sense forces is a critical component for ensuring that robots can safely interact with their environment. Yet there are numerous situations, in particular for medical applications, where environmental and sensor density requirements can pose challenges to sensor design. To overcome those limitations, we proposed new wireless force sensors.
