Why is pressure measurement with novel’s capacitive force sensors so relevant? 

Capacitive force sensors are commonly used in various industrial applications where precise force measurement is needed. Some examples include: 

  1. Quality control and testing of products: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force required to compress a foam cushion, the force required to push a button, or the force required to open a lid on a container. 
  2. Robotics and automation: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force of a robotic gripper or the force exerted by an actuator. 
  3. Medical device testing: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force required to puncture skin, the force required to insert a catheter, or the force required to compress a heart valve. 
  4. Industrial process control: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force of a press, the force of a punch, or the force of a spring. 
  5. Biomechanics and ergonomics: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force exerted by a person during activities such as walking, running, or lifting. 
  6. Automotive and aerospace: Capacitive force sensors can be used to measure the force of a landing gear, the force of a braking system, or the force of an airbag deployment.
