Abstract

Novel tools and techniques are provided for implementing flexible printed circuit board (“PCB”)-based mobile sensor platform. In various embodiments, a flexible PCB-based mobile sensor platform includes a body portion(s) and at least one of a microcontroller, a locomotion system, sensors, a transceiver(s), and/or the like, each disposed on the body portion(s). The locomotion system includes one or more flexible PCB portions and corresponding actuators. Based on instructions from the microcontroller, at least one actuator may cause bending and unbending of a corresponding flexible PCB portion(s) that causes the flexible PCB-based mobile sensor platform to move toward a target location within a first environment. Upon arrival, the sensors may collect sensor data regarding at least one of the target location, an object located at the target location, or a portion of the object, and the microcontroller may send the collected sensor data to an external device via the transceiver.
