Isoflex is the first sensor of its kind, with a unique combination of capacitive and resistive sensor elements combined into one mechanically homogeneous package allowing it to be extremely durable and stretchable. Over one year was spent by four team members: Guillaume Fernandes, Jacob Chausse, Andrew Harabin, Nick Levinski. Through countless nights sleeping in QNC to tackling the unknown we were able of achieving our goal of a versatile sensing system for wearable and biomechanical settings.

When setting out to develop our sensor we had one goal, more data with less work. With our novel design we were capable of measuring forces in two axis with only three connection points, and when connected in an array of sensors 3D spatial force mapping can be achieve with only two connections per sensor unit. 

We had the honour to represent the Nanotechnology Class of 2023 with our group highlighted by the University of Waterloo Faculty of Engineering. This video was made by the team early in development and highlights the determination and passion the team had to overcome an insanely complex design project. 

We were awarded the ANSYS Design Analysis Competition for our advanced simulation work. A small article can be found at this link.

Through our hard work and determination we were award best Best Fourth Year Design Project Poster and Prototype Award. To read more follow this link
