Not quite the same thing, but this reminds me of DAS using fiber optic cable for various acoustic sensing tasks--basically as an alternative to geophones/hydrophones. There have been a number of papers using transoceanic fibers for various monitoring tasks.
That is also used for various industrial applications, e.g. for strain sensing by Luna Innovations. I know that Schlumberger has various patents on fiber-optic sensing relating to towed streamers (e.g. for marine seismic acquisition.) But I haven't seen it used for soft robotics before.
- 00702 2y agoYeah initially doing literature review was a bit daunting because of all this existing work, especially FBG-type sensors, but this idea is so fundamentally simple that its been mostly bypassed by the smarter minds
- ericdfoley 2y agoYeah, it makes a lot of sense to just create those gaps when you're specifically installing the fiber for sensing.
