Abstract:
1. An adaptable surface system comprising: a surface including a plurality of individually adjustable subsurface units; a plurality of subsurface pressure sensors, each pressure sensor of the plurality of subsurface pressure sensors corresponding to one of the plurality of individually adjustable subsurface units and positioned to measure an amount of pressure exerted upon the corresponding subsurface unit; a controller including a processor and a computer readable memory storing computer instruction that, when executed by the processor, cause the controller to: a sensor positioner, the sensor positioner being physically coupled to the surface and movable across the surface to exert a pressure on the surface such that, when the sensor positioner is positioned on the first substrate, the pressure is detected by the first substrate pressure sensor and the height of the first substrate is adjusted.
