We create pressure sensors, which are made of 100% textile components and work just like common FSR (Force-Sensing Resistor) sensors. Using an ordinary embroidery machine, our sensors can be rapidly applied to numerous pre-existing fabrics, in arbitrary shape and scale. Just as print FSR, they are straightforward to use in combination with basic readout electronics. We also developed a custom PCB, which can be attached directly onto the augmented fabric. Even wiring for connecting the PCB to sensors is done using textile materials, by embroidering the respective circuit paths. We can also link several sensors for building pressure sensitive configurations with high flexibility.
