FootTile: a Rugged Foot Sensor for Force and Center of Pressure Sensing in Soft Terrain
Felix Ruppert,Alexander Badri-Spröwitz,Felix Ruppert,Alexander Badri-Spröwitz
In this paper, we present FootTile, a foot sensor for reaction force and center of pressure sensing in challenging terrain. We compare our sensor design to standard biomechanical devices, force plates and pressure plates. We show that FootTile can accurately estimate force and pressure distribution during legged locomotion. FootTile weighs 0.9 g, has a sampling rate of 330 Hz, a footprint of 10×10...
