Impact and Innovation

Sencilia B. V., a start-up company spun out of Prof. Kottapalli's team currently lead by former Postdoc and current Managing Director of Sencilia B. V., Dr Amar Kamat

Sensorized insoles and wearable sensors developed in my team tested with (PCRR) Hilderdink

3D printed seal whisker sensors developed in our research are exhibited at the Zeehondencentrum, Pieterburen to general public.

Spin-off from BMBD group, Sencilia, was selected and underwent the entrepreneurial training at NWO Venture Challenge Programme

The video below shows real-time response from the CNF based gesture sensing smart glove while the individual finger is flicking movement.

The video below shows real-time response from the CNF based gesture sensing smart glove while typing on a keyboard.

The video below shows the response acquired from an apparel integrable CNF-based strain sensor integrated in a knee-cap while knee bending motion.

The video below shows the application of CNF based pressure sensor for real-time gait monitoring. In this case the sensor is embedded in the heel region of the right foot.

The 2 videos below shows a real-time demonstration of the application of TiC based inkjet printed paper-like flow sensors for wind direction-based autonomous ground navigation.

The video below shows the application of Graphene-PDMS spongy sensors as tactile sensors for qualitative pressure monitoring. In this particular case, the demonstration shows that the system is able show qualitative pressure change while grabbing a filled beaker.

The video below shows the capability of the Graphene-PDMS spongy sensors as tactile sensors for qualitative pressure monitoring. In this particular case, the demonstration shows that the system is able to qualitatively distinguish between three different pressure levels.

The video below shows a practical application of Graphene-PDMS spongy piezoresistive sensors as pressure sensors for qualitative pressure monitoring. In this particular case, the graphene sensors are embedded underneath the rotor blades of Philips 9000 series shaver. This will enable smart shavers capable of identifying pressure exerted while shaving thus allowing for optimal shave quality.

Like the previous video, the video below also shows the applicability of such systems for achieving smart shavers capable of identifying real-time pressure exerted by shaver blades while shaving which will allow for finding optimal pressure for a comfortable shaving experience.
