## Made for Machines That Move

### Liquid Wire deformables unlock new possibilities in robotic sensing, actuation, and connectivity.

**Robots are dynamic by nature—arms bend, joints rotate, hands flex.**  
Our deformable interconnects and sensors are designed to move with them. Instead of working around rigid boards or flex limits, engineers can now design with freedom—routing power and data through soft, compliant, highly durable pathways.

**What’s Possible with Deformables**

- Combine conductivity and sensing  eliminating the need to separate signal from structure
- Smaller, lighter assemblies with fewer layers
- Motion-tolerant designs that reduce maintenance

**Use Cases**

- Stretchable strain sensors for embedded joint angle monitoring
- Sensing grids thermoformed into robot parts for contact & force magnitude detection 
- Embedded interconnects that can defy space constraints
- Dynamic cabling for field-ready robots

**Why Liquid Wire**  
Our Metal Gel™ and stretchable TPU system delivers the durability and design flexibility high-performance robotics demand—with proven performance over millions of motion cycles.

 

## Explore the Possibilities

Whether for wearable technology, structural health monitoring, or enhancing robotic performance, Liquid Wire™ components provide the necessary durability for high-performance environments. Choose Liquid Wire™ deformables or superior performance and reliability in your most challenging projects.
