About OmniFiber Self Sensing Morphing Textiles

OmniFiber is a soft robotic fiber technology for autonomous textiles and garments. A novel microfluidic fiber actuator is engineered with gesture programmability, that can sense its own physical deformation and mechanically respond to it. OmniFiber has versatile morphing behavior, multimodal haptic feedback, high frequency response, high strain and force output which allow designers to flexibly weave them into everyday interactions such as kinesthetic wearables for skill learning and transfer, dynamic fitting garments, and textile-based haptic devices for telepresence applications.
