Columbia's open-source FlexiTac tactile sensor moves toward Analog Devices commercial version
Overview
Columbia University's Yunzhu Li says the open-source FlexiTac piezoresistive tactile sensor, released about a year and a half ago, has been widely adopted in academia and industry.
Analog Devices is developing a commercial version, which Li says will have five times the tactile resolution of a human finger and be made with semiconductor manufacturing processes.
The full bill of materials, step-by-step assembly instructions and data-reading software are open source. Li says the sensor takes three minutes to assemble.
