Project Grant 2222110

This Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Computer and Network Systems, under the Computer and Information Science and Engineering federal grant program (CFDA 47.070), provides $315,214 to the University of Virginia to establish a cloud-based manufacturing framework for embroidered wearable electronics. The framework aims to make electronic design and manufacturing accessible on fabric substrates through embroidery. It will integrate design-to-manufacturing translation software accounting for conductive threads and flexible electronics, an open library of wearable designs, and a cloud platform with open architecture and interfaces for customers, manufacturers, software developers and designers. The goal is to advance accessible system-on-cloth technology for health monitoring, wearable computing and other applications. Completion is set for July 2023.
