Researchers Build Soft Shape-Sensing Sheet

Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have built a shape-sensing sheet. It is made of silicone, which is a flexible, rubber-like material. As the sheet bends, it creates a digital copy of its shape. The material contains optical fibers. These are thin threads that carry light from one end to the other. The fibers are arranged in a zig-zag…
