Now the velostat sensor is the sensor design of choice, experiments began.

Based on research, the first sensor design is based around copper tape tapped onto each side of a piece of velostat, with an outer layer of neoprene.

However, this did not show consistent results, or show any clear resistance change that would indicate touch.

As the hand is almost complete, the touch sensing technology is now a focus.

Due to changes in the design since the touch technology was last reviewed, the decision on which technology to use was reviewed.

As part of the submission of this assignment, a peer presentation was prepared, with the purpose of presenting the progress, aims and intensions.

As part of that a PowerPoint was prepared, this presentation is attached bellow.
