The SENSKIN project developed an easy-to-install, low cost dielectric-elastomer strain sensor that can transmit its measurements wirelessly and with low power needs. The sensors are not only cheaper, but also able to sense a range of strains, from very small to extremely large. As the communication between sensor and concentrator is wireless, the installation is far simpler and much faster. The silicon itself is also a less expensive material to use in the manufacturing of the sensors.
