Abstract

Integrated Force Arrays (IFAs) are thin, flexible, metallized membranes which may be configured as actuators or sensors. The current prototype structures are approximately 1 cm long by 1 mm wide and designed for deformations of 2 mm. In this paper we will discuss how the devices may be scaled-up for extended range and force.
