Water rescue robots are deployed in situations that are too hazardous or unpredictable for human responders. As maritime robotics become more common in emergency and open-water environments, ensuring these systems are safe, functional, and reliable is critical. Before they can be trusted in real rescue operations, manufacturers must thoroughly test the thrust performance, durability, and response capabilities under realistic and often extreme conditions.
Interface recommends the T2 Ultra Precision Shaft Style Rotary Torque Transducer paired with the SI-USB4 4-channel USB Interface Module. The T2 measures the torque of the water rescue robot’s thrusters, especially in numerous water environments. The SI-USB4 4-channel USB Interface Module enabled real-time data acquisition, visualization, and recording directly on a laptop or desktop computer.
Interface’s force measurement system successfully measured precise torque performance of the water rescue robot under different load conditions and variations.
