At the Sensors Converge pre-conference workshop on printed, stretchable, and e-fabric sensors, Tekscan CTO Rob Podoloff will explore the evolving role of tactile sensing in driving innovation across industries. His talk will cover the fundamentals of tactile force measurement systems, including sensor construction and circuit design, and showcase real-world applications from dental occlusion and gait analysis to wearable technologies and surgical implants.

Podoloff will highlight how strategic collaborations—including projects with the U.S. Army and medical device companies—have accelerated the development of flexible, high-density sensor systems. He’ll also introduce Tekscan’s TactileLab, the company’s innovation hub for advancing sensor technology from lab to scalable production, including new capabilities in temperature mapping.
