| Mediators training to embroider sesnors at the Science Gallery London |
You might
remember that I have been working with the guys at the Centre for Robotics
Research, Kings College London. We have
been working collaboratively developing embroidered sesnors that can pick up
electrical muscle impulses off the skin
You can

Sam Pitou
at KCL is particularly interested in developing embroidered sensors for low
cost robotic prostheses in developing countries and we have been creating hand
stitched sensors to investigate their suitability.
We are
asking people to drop into the exhibition Spare Parts at the Science Gallery
London Great
Maze Pond, London, SE1 9GU before 31st March 2019 and join us in
creating sensors for a live research project.
On
Saturday 23rd March we are also running a Hand-Sewn Electrode Hack
In this
workshop and research project, participants are shown how to use stainless
steel conductive thread and embroidery techniques to craft electrodes which can
detect muscular activity (electromyography) and enable prosthesis wearers to
control the moving parts of their artificial limb.
The
Hand-Sewing Textile EMG research project investigates cheap and effective
alternatives to industrially produced electrodes which can be prohibitively
expensive.
On the day take on the challenge to sew 10 electrodes in 3 hours, and feed directly
into live research. Bring busy fingers, a patient frame of mind, and good chat!
