🖐🏻 Finger Bend sensor made of piezoresistive fabric
Finger Bend is a sensor created to find a way of making finger bends inside of a glove, control light and sound.
The construction of the sensor is simple, using piezoresistive fabric which changes its resistance when deformed. By sewing this into a sheath that can be placed on the finger, and wiring it up with conductive threads, it can be used to detect the flexion of the wearer’s digits by sampling the resistance with an analog to digital converter on any garden variety microcontroller.
The idea behind this glove is to then connect it to a body suit with other eTextile sensors for Immersive Audiovisual Performances.

🖐🏻 Tactile Sensing Gets a Boost for AI Systems Thanks to Open-source Research
The new announcement from Meta this week was ReSkin, a new open-source tactile sensing "skin" solution. ReSkin is a deformable elastomer designed with embedded magnetic particles.
According to the publication, when this material deforms, it causes a change in its magnetic field, which is perceptible by nearby magnetometers. The system then uses AI-based techniques to interpret this data into relevant information such as contact location and applied force.
All together, ReSkin comes out to be 2-3 mm thick, has a lifetime of over 50,000 interactions, has a temporal resolution of up to 400 Hz, and has a spatial resolution of 1 mm with 90% accuracy.
ReSkin offers several unique value propositions. First off, unlike other skin-based sensors, ReSkin is generalizable thanks to a novel self-supervised learning algorithm that allows the sensors to auto-calibrate without manual intervention.

📟 Labfab's Open-Source CO2 Sensor
The sensor would help you to determine the periods of ventilation in closed spaces, in particular in the school context. Indeed, a high concentration of CO2 in a classroom has the possible consequence of a drop in concentration and even a state of drowsiness. The CO2 sensor is designed to interpret these different CO2 alert levels by simple color code.

📟 SeismoM5 - Open-Source Earthquake Sensor
SeismoM5 is an Earthquake Sensor Implementation on M5StickC, using its own MPU6886 accelerometer.
The properties of this project is:
▫️ Calibrate MPU6886 accelerometer and use calibration results as offsets.

MIT researchers have developed a groundbreaking battery-free sensor that harvests energy from its environment, designed for long-term data monitoring in inaccessible locations like ship engines. The published article describes the sensor that captures energy from magnetic fields around electric wires, allowing it to operate without the need for battery replacement or complex wiring. This innovation is particularly beneficial in applications where power access is limited.
The team addressed significant challenges, such as enabling the sensor to start without initial power (cold start) and efficiently storing energy using capacitors instead of batteries. The system's microcontroller effectively manages the stored energy, determining when to activate the sensor and how to adjust energy harvesting for optimal performance. This approach not only simplifies installation but also expands the potential for deploying sensors in various environments, paving the way for more efficient and sustainable monitoring solutions in industrial settings.
