bionic hand muscle sensor

My new muscle sensor applied to a device. In practice it is a question of using a low-cost sensor, usually used for reading-detection of the load or weight, converted into a durometer, capable of measuring the hardness of the muscle. If you try to place a finger on a muscle, you will feel how its hardness varies with the contraction. the finger in this case is a small protuberance applied to the sensor, which will detect the force exerted between the muscle and the sensor. Unlike the sensors used up to now (myoelectric EMG, dilation, optical) this sensor costs very little, is waterproof and allows a proportional reading, thus applying a proportional movement to the device, through a specially programmed arduino. I hope this type of sensor will be used on low cost device soon. pressure sensor MD30-60 30mm resistor 12K M5 stick or arduino nano 3.7 V 1100 mAh Li-Ion ICR17500 sledging switch
