Summary
The broader/commercial impact of this Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) Phase I project seeks to advance the practicality of smart materials and the Internet-of-Things (IoT) by featuring a low-profile carbon nanotube (CNT) sensor that can detect low-force impacts, micro-sized bending strains, damage features in materials, and human finger movements. Organisms understand their environment by experiencing and learning from experienced sensations. From a technological perspective, at the core of intelligence, sensory organs collect signals and transduce them into computable information.
