Abstract: A flexible differential strain sensor, system, and method includes a deformable substrate having a first axis and a second axis different than the first axis and a first sensing element and a second sensing element. The first and second sensing elements are comprised of conductive gel. The first sensing element is arranged to sense strain in the deformable substrate along the first axis. The second sensing element has a first portion arranged to sense strain in the deformable substrate along the first axis and a second portion arranged to sense strain in the deformable substrate along the second axis. The second sensing element is arranged to cancel at least a portion of the stimulus sensed by the first sensing element in the along the first axis.

Abstract: A sensor may include a bladder, and a deformable conductor disposed on the bladder such that deformation of the bladder causes deformation of the deformable conductor, wherein the bladder is constrained so as to enhance the deformation of the conductor in response to the deformation of the bladder. A method may include applying a stimulus to a bladder having a deformable conductor attached thereto, detecting a change in an electrical characteristic associated with the deformable conductor in response to the stimulus, and selectively constraining the bladder to amplify the change in electrical characteristic in response to the stimulus.

Abstract: A human interface device may include a deformable body having a handle portion, and a deformable conductor coupled to the deformable body and arranged to deform in response to a physical manipulation of the deformable body. The physical manipulation may include compressing, flexing, twisting, and/or stretching at least a portion of the deformable body. The deformable conductor may be arranged to change an electric characteristic such as a resistance, capacitance and/or inductance in response to the physical manipulation. The deformable conductor may include a sensor portion, and a transmission portion. The sensor portion may sense a first type of physical manipulation, and the transmission portion may sense a second type of physical manipulation.
