Abstract
A sensor including a flexible channel defining a fluid flow path, the flexible channel configured to at least partially deflect when a force is imparted on the flexible channel. A gel layer is in contact with an outer surface of the flexible channel, and a transducer is in contact with the gel layer. Transducer is configured to generate an output signal that corresponds to an amount of strain imparted on the flexible channel.
