Abstract
A shape-sensing system includes a deformable object, a strip substrate, and a plurality of bend sensors. The deformable object is configured to deform when a first force is exerted on the deformable object. The strip substrate is installed in the shape-sensing system such that the strip substrate deforms in response to deformation of the deformable object. The plurality of bend sensors is fixedly attached to a surface of the strip substrate at different respective locations for generating respective values in response to deformation of the strip substrate. The respective values are used for obtaining tracked deformation of the deformable object.
