We focus tactile stimulus on a sole during walking to clarify mechanisms of fall and walking adapted for irregular terrain. Therefore, this paper proposes the development of the novel optical forces sensor which can measure 3-axis distributed forces acting on a sole during walking. This sensor can measure how much force in which direction a sole loads the floor in detail when human walks. The construct...
This paper presents a design concept of a novel 6-axis force sensor with simultaneous plantar deformation measurement by high-speed cameras under the sensor is presented. The sensor is based on two custom beams and some strain gages in order not to be limited a view of the high-speed cameras. In walking analysis research field, the 6-axis force and plantar skin deformation are very important factors...
An innovative sensor is developed to evaluate hardness of human soft tissue. This sensor provides easy and accurate hardness measurements based on a unique sensing mechanism. Hardness of soft materials is often evaluated by using international standards of hardness such as IRHD (International Rubber Hardness Degree) and durometer hardness. However the conventional scales based on these standards requires...
