Abstract
A robotic component can include a Flexible Circuit Board (FCB) that can be bent into various shapes throughout the robotic component. The FCB can include various integrated sensors that can be manufactured as part of the FCB in a way that reduces the size and number of connections. The FCB can include capacitive force sensors that can measure a quantity of force and can be unitary with the FCB and can be manufactured by folding two electrodes around a compressible dielectric pad.
