About
Sergio Cartiel is a rising innovator in the field of optical sensing and human-machine interaction, with a primary focus on advancing LIDAR-based touch technologies. His most notable contribution is the development of "OptoSkin," a novel approach that repurposes light detection and ranging (LIDAR) sensors—specifically those using direct time-of-flight (dToF) measurements—for precise detection of touch and pressure within wave guides. This work, published in 2024 and already garnering 8 citations, bridges the gap between traditional proximity sensing and high-resolution tactile interfaces, offering a path toward more intuitive, durable, and compact touch-sensitive surfaces. By integrating these sensors into chip-scale designs, Cartiel’s research addresses critical challenges in surface localization, enabling applications ranging from smart textiles to next-generation robotics. His contributions are particularly impactful for the development of "skin-like" sensors that can withstand real-world wear while maintaining sub-millimeter accuracy. As a researcher, Cartiel demonstrates a talent for reimagining established technologies—like automotive-grade LIDAR—for novel, human-centric purposes, positioning him as a key figure in the evolution of touchless and touch-based interactive systems.
