Sensor Converge 2025 Highlights: Revolutionary Leap in Flexible Sensors

At the recently concluded Sensor Converge 2025, ADW’s flexible sensor technology emerged as one of the most talked-about innovations — heralded as the “electronic nerve endings” of next-generation intelligent systems.

Technological Evolution: From Rigid to Flexible Sensing

This year’s event marked a milestone in sensor thinness and adaptability. ADW unveiled its ultra-thin, bendable sensor capable of seamlessly conforming to intricate surfaces like robotic finger joints and foldable screen hinges. Built using multilayer lead-free piezoelectric ceramic stacking, these sensors deliver:

• Micron-level structural precision

• Environmental safety and compliance

• Breakthrough flexibility beyond traditional rigid sensors

Multimodal Fusion for Next-Gen Perception

ADW’s flexible sensor platform supports multimodal sensing, allowing integration of mechanical stress, pressure, conductivity, and acoustic inputs — laying the groundwork for true embodied intelligence.

Explosive Applications: From Consumer Tech to Embodied AI

Foldable Screen Interaction Revolution

• Use case: 8 ultra-thin sensors embedded in the hinge of foldable screens

• Function: Real-time monitoring of metal fatigue over 200,000 bending cycles

• Outcome: Automatic protective measures triggered when stress thresholds are breached — significantly reducing screen failure rates
  

Smart Cockpit Innovations in Automotive

ADW’s flexible sensor tech powers three major applications in next-gen vehicles:

1. Driver Vitality Detection:
   Embedded in the steering wheel surface, sensors track sweat conductivity fluctuations to detect fatigue or drowsiness.

2. Zero-Gravity Seat Pressure Mapping:
   A 256-point sensing array ensures optimal pressure distribution for long drives, helping prevent spinal fatigue.

3. Acoustic Touch Panels:
   Delivers haptic feedback without physical buttons, supporting IP68-level waterproofing, ideal for modern, minimalistic interiors.

Embodied Intelligence Sensor Matrix

1. Bionic Fingertips:
   Integrated with 4,096 pressure sensing units, offering sensitivity of 0.01N, capable of detecting subtleties like an egg’s ripeness.

2. Robotic Arms:
   High-precision strain sensors allow robotic arms to perform delicate operations — like twisting a bottle cap.

3. Joint Alignment Sensing:
   Real-time calibration and auto-alignment enable precise limb articulation in robotic or wearable applications.
