Stitched stretch sensor

摘要

A stitched sensor including a plurality of threads stitched to a textile in a stitch geometry is described. The plurality of threads includes a conductive thread, and the stitch geometry is configured such that an electrical property of the stitched sensor changes based on at least one of stretching, relaxation, or bending of the textile. Methods for forming a stitched sensor are also described.

1. A system comprising:
a stitched sensor comprising a plurality of threads stitched to a textile in a stitch geometry, the plurality of threads comprising a conductive thread defining a plurality of loops in the stitch geometry, wherein the stitch geometry is configured such that an electrical property of the stitched sensor changes based on at least one of stretching or relaxation of the textile that causes at least two loops of the plurality of loops to change between a first configuration in which the at least two loops contact each other and a second configuration in which the at least two loops are separated from each other and do not overlap each other.
