3D Fiber Optic Sensing System Project
This study aims to apply fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printing, a cheap and widely accessible technology, to implement an optical sensing solution that is both distributed and highly integrated in order to achieve proprioception in the presence of external disturbances. The fiber optic sensing technology provides data support in structural health monitoring of the macro facilities, including design, construction, and maintenance of bridges, tunnels, ports and other infrastructures. In this paper, a distributed vibration sensing system is proved to be responsive to. The technology will enable cutting-edge applications in the fields of robotic and standard minimally invasive surgery – such as real-time position tracking, instrument and catheter navigation, force. The fibers become locked in place and the readout electronics remain optically coupled to them while the flexures undergo large bending deformations, creating a.
