Reduce product complexity

Use the material itself as the deformation sensor and interaction interface, and do away with traditional, complex mechatronic switch packs

Intelligent structural engineering enables interactions through subsurface layers, by transforming ordinary off-the-shelf polymers into powerful capacitive & pressure distribution sensors and sensing layers. This approach reduces manufacturing complexity and costs.

Deformation sensing using smart polymers with structural interventions

Complete sensorless sensors integrated within any physical object
How it works
  1. Surface: Over-moulded non-conductive flexible aspect material
  2. Subsurface: Hollowed and overhang structures applied to injection-moulded conductive materials
  3. Power: Simple mechanical electrical connections
  4. Software: Advanced algorithms to detect pressure caused by internal deformation
  5. Data and analytics: Data output of deformation in custom applications
