Howdy all,
Sorry for the not very descriptive title :-P I want to make a fingertip out of some deformable material, possibly rubber or silicone. I will mount it on top of a force sensor, but I also want to be able to sense deformation in the material. I know that strain gauges can give me this information, but I am in the dark as to what to look for and where to find it. Google shows me a lot of "stretch sensors" that are like long chords, but what I really need is a compact one.
Any hints?
MIKE
