MIT shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its own bending

Original: Shape-sensing sheet digitally tracks its own movement as it bends and twists

MIT researchers have developed a shape-sensing sheet that digitally tracks its own movement as it bends and twists. The material can sense and record its deformation in real time, a capability that could matter for robotics, wearable devices and soft structures. The news is drawing attention on tech discussion forums, where readers are weighing potential engineering and consumer applications.

Why now: A novel flexible sensing material from MIT has just been published and is circulating on tech news forums.
