3D-Printed Soft Sensors

Rei Sakura +Mai Kagawa +Yasuaki Kakehi


In this research, we are developing sensor technology that measures the amount of deformation that occurs while pressing an object by 3D printing lattice structures with flexible conductive filament. In this exhibition, the visitors can experience three interactive contents that utilizes the 3D printed sensor’s soft property: mobility controller, drawing tool and a swarm animation. In addition to the softness of the material and printed structure, we would also like for you to pay attention to the softness that occurs during the interaction. What kind of experiences can softness offer us?
