This paper details the preliminary investigations into the requirements of force sensors for the measurement of food texture. The research is geared towards the development of a novel instrumented device to measure the spatial distribution of texture in foods and other materials. The device uses an array of pins, which are pushed at a constant rate into the food sample. The force exerted on each pin...
Major accidents on highways, freeways and local roads can lead to huge social and economic impacts. Minor accidents may be resolved by the passengers themselves and do not require escorting to hospitals whereas major accidents where airbags are deployed require immediate attention of authorities. Automatic Smart Accident Detection (ASAD) is an auto-detection unit system that immediately notifies an...
In this paper we report a 3D tactile sensor with slip detection capabilities for robotic applications. The sensor translates a change in force to a change in air-gap which leads to a change in capacitance. The proposed sensor models the contact force as a polynomial function of measured capacitance. Finite element analysis was done on the proposed sensor design and its characteristics were studied...
Currently possible solutions for alternative electric power generation have been the subject of interest of many researchers. More recently, the possibility of generating low power electricity has been studied, being enough to meet the demand of some electronic systems. Systems such as wireless sensors or remote communication which has low power consumption can be benefited. Among various technologies...
The vehicle trafficability on soft terrain is a key part of the overall vehicle performance. The field investigation and analysis show that lots of research has been done with no general theoretical law. The lack of real vehicle testing data holds back the development of wheel-soil interaction models to a great extent. A new dynamic testing system is presented in this paper to provide a solution for...
System identification is an important tool to investigate human motion control. The goal of this study was to identify and address issues in system identification for human motor control and to investigate if linear time invariant system identification techniques are applicable to recorded mechanical and physiological data. During a posture maintenance experiment subjects had to minimize the deviations...
