This research focuses on soft robotic bladders that are used to monitor and control the interaction between a user's head and the shell of a Smart Helmet. Compression of these bladders determines impact dissipation; hence the focus of this paper is sensing and estimation of bladder compression. An IR rangefinder-based solution is evaluated using regression techniques as well as a Neural Network to...
