Purpose This paper aims to review the shape sensing techniques using large area flexible electronics (LAFE). Shape … shape sensing methodologies of objects with large area, published in the past 15 years, are reviewed with emphasis on … contact-based shape sensors. Fiber optics based shape sensing methodology is discussed for comparison purpose. Findings LAFE …

Purpose This paper aims to present a shape sensing method and feedback control strategy based on fiber Bragg grating … to bend into the pre-given desired shape. Findings Experiment results verify the effectiveness of the shape sensing …
