The FLEX Conference, held again this year in conjunction with SEMICON West 2023, provided numerous examples of continued developments in flexible, printed, and flexible hybrid electronics technologies applied to sensing, robotics, communications, and other applications.

Focusing on applications that help assist movement in people with neuromotor disorders & aging muscle, Georgia Tech is developing a flexible system that uses sensory feedback through EMG to assess muscle and motor neuron health and augments strength through pneumatically actuated artificial muscle.
