Navigating large-scale outdoor environments requires complex reasoning in terms of geometric structures, environmental semantics, and terrain characteristics, which are typically captured by onboard sensors such as LiDAR and cameras. While current mobile robots can navigate such environments using p
This work demonstrates an all-elastomer MEMS capacitive strain sensor with high dynamic range (5000:1), and features an inexpensive molding microfabrication process. The sensor is comprised of conductive elastometric comb capacitors embedded in a dielectric. Two different sensor designs, lateral com…
Kapton strain-based hair sensors were designed and fabricated to measure flow on a micro air vehicle. The fabrication process is carried out using a single mask and a combination of cleanroom and regular lab room processing. The processing resulted in successful realization of 6.4 mm long sensors wi…
