Center of Gravity Testing in Robotics Demands Precision Load Cells
Interface specializes in precision force measurement solutions. There are different methods for determining the CoG of a robotic system. One common method is to use strain gage load cells. Not all load cells are designed for precision measurement. Center of gravity testing demands strict measurement. For example, Interface compression load cells are often used in center of gravity testing for robotics because they are very accurate and can measure remarkably small forces.

Using Multi-Axis Sensors to Bring Robotics to Life
Multi-axis sensors provide several benefits for use in robotics, as they allow for accurately measuring the robot's position, orientation, and movement. Interface offers a wide variety of multi-axis sensor options including 2-axis, 3-axis, 6-axis, and axial torsion load cell sensors. The benefits of using multi-axis sensors aligns to the advancements in robotics, as the expectations to do more means more data is needed to thoroughly test and measure every capability and interaction with accuracy.
