Show HN: I made a new sensor out of 3D printer filament for my PhD
Summary: The OptiGap Sensor System, developed by Paul Bupe Jr., is a bend localization sensor designed for soft robotics applications. It uses air gaps within flexible optical light pipes to generate coded patterns essential for determining the bend location. The system functions like an absolute encoder, encoding positions using patterns of bend-sensitive air gaps along parallel light pipes. Bupe has integrated the OptiGap system into a modular actuation and sensing system called EneGate and validated its application in real-world soft robotic systems.
