In neurosurgery, soft robots have the potential to introduce significant benefits over traditional metal tools for their ability to safely interact with delicate tissues. In this paper, we introduce a proof-of-concept soft, capacitive origami sensing module (OSM) that can measure forces during neurosurgical retraction. Using origami-inspired design and fabrication principles, the OSM is easily fol...
