Integration on soft substrates

ESR12

Objectives

To investigate various methods for integration of sensing/electronic components, developed through research themes 8-11 on soft substrates. The focus will be on soldering techniques and stretchable connections to obtain tactile skin with reliable operation, while allowing normal working of sensors and other electronics embedded in the soft substrates. Where possible the tools developed for integration of planar electronics will be used.

Expected Results

Method for integrating/embedding sensors and electronics in soft materials as in skin.

Placement

Host institution: University of Glasgow

Enrolments (in Doctoral degree): University of Glasgow

Supervisors

Ravinder Dahiya, Leandro Lorenzelli
