The Measurement and Sensor Technology (MUST) group was once again represented at this year’s IEEE Sensors Conference 2025, held from October 19 to 22 in Vancouver, Canada. The IEEE Sensors is one of the world’s leading events in the field of sensing and measurement, providing researchers from around the globe with the opportunity to present and discuss recent developments and innovative approaches.

The MUST team presented three posters:

• Differential TMR-Based Multiaxial Force Sensor Using Soft Magnetoelastic Composites
• Muscle Activity Monitoring via Mechanomyography Using Soft 3D-Printed Piezoelectric Sensors
• 3D-Printed Multiaxial Force Sensor Enabling Single-Step Sensor Integration — the latter even featuring a live demonstrator.

In addition, the recently published paper Acoustic Energy Transfer for Integrated Sensor Systems was presented during a lecture, which explores wireless power transfer using ultrasound for embedded sensor systems.

The MUST team also took the opportunity to exchange ideas with project partners, including Paul-Otto Müller from the DFG project LokoAssist as well as Dirk Leiacker and Arthur Ewart from the priority program Sensor-Integrating Machine Elements.

Participation in the conference provided an excellent opportunity to showcase the group’s research to an international audience and to establish valuable connections with fellow scientists from around the world.

The conference concluded with a pleasant surprise: Felix Herbst received the Outstanding Student Poster Award for his contribution “3D-Printed Multiaxial Force Sensor Enabling Single-Step Sensor Integration.”
