1. A sensor assembly comprising:
a compliant substrate assembly comprising:
a base layer; and
a deformable layer heat-sealed to the base layer such that the base layer and the deformable layer define at least one inflatable chamber;
a first member proximate to a first edge of the compliant substrate assembly;
a second member proximate to a second edge of the compliant substrate assembly, wherein the second edge is opposite the first edge; and
at least one pressure sensor fluidly coupled to the at least one inflatable chamber and operable to produce a signal indicative of a pressure within the at least one inflatable chamber,
wherein the first member and the second member are rods.
