As obesity rates climb, it is important to study its effects on motor vehicle safety due to differences in restraint interaction and biomechanics. Previous studies have shown that an abdominal seatbelt sign (referred hereafter as seatbelt sign) sustained from motor vehicle crashes (MVCs) is associated with abdominal trauma when located above the anterior superior iliac spine (ASIS). This study investigates whether placement of the lap belt causing a seatbelt sign is associated with abdominal organ injury in occupants with increased body mass index (BMI). We hypothesized that higher BMI would be associated with a higher incidence of superior placement of the lap belt to the ASIS level, and a higher incidence of abdominal organ injury. A retrospective data analysis was performed using 230 cases that met inclusion criteria (belted occupant in a frontal collision that sustained at least one abdominal injury) from the Crash Injury Research and Engineering Network (CIREN) database. Computed tomography (CT) scan ASIS, though the impact on abdominal injury incidence remains a key point for continued exploration into how occupant BMI affects crash safety and belt design. In CIREN occupants with abdominal injury, those with obesity are more prone to positioning the lap belt superior to the ASIS, though the impact on abdominal injury incidence remains a key point for continued exploration into how occupant BMI affects crash safety and belt design.Electronic skin for robotic tactile sensing has been studied extensively over the past years, yet practical applications of electronic skin for the grasping state monitoring during robotic manipulation are still limited. In this study, we present the fabrication and implementation of electronic skin sensor arrays for the detection of unstable grasping. The piezoresistive sensor arrays have the advantages of facile fabrication, fast response, and high reliability. With the tact
