Autonomous robot dogs are being used more and more for inspections in different industries such as oil and gas, manufacturing, construction, and even military applications. Force sensors play a crucial role in the stability, balance, and functionality for these autonomous robotic dogs.
When it comes to sensing ground contact forces, force sensors are needed in the legs of these robot dogs to continuously measure how much force each foot is applying to the ground in order to stay balanced. Interface’s LBM Compression Load Button Load Cell can be installed in the foot of the robot dog. When connected to a WTS-AM-1E Wireless Strain Bridge Transmitter Module, the movement data is wirelessly transmitted to the customer’s PC through the WTS-BS-6 Wireless Telemetry Dongle Base Station.
During the autonomous robot dog’s inspections, Interface’s LBM Compression Load Button Load Cells successfully measured the robot dogs movements such as balance, foot pressure, and posture.
