Abstract: A strain sensor system and method include a strain sensor, an electronic parameter sensor, and a processor. The strain sensor includes a medium, a plurality of reference points positioned at different locations on the medium, and a plurality of conductive traces formed from conductive gel. At least two of the plurality of conductive traces are operatively coupled to each of the plurality of reference points. Each of the plurality of conductive traces has an electronic property equivalent to a length thereof. The medium and the conductive traces are configured to deform in response to a force placed on the strain sensor, wherein the deformation causes at least one of the plurality of traces to change length. The processor is configured to determine a relative location of each of the plurality of reference points based, at least in part, on the electronic property of each of the plurality of conductive traces.
