Load Cell - Humanoid Robot Load Cell
How it Works
  1. In 2012, The Robot Studio decided to replicate human mechanics by developing the most precise and complex mechanism - a humanoid robot.
  2. While emulating the structure and geometry of human forelimbs, all bones, joints and connective tissue required force monitoring.
  3. The Robot Studio employed FUTEK's LSB200 Jr. Miniature S-Beam Load Cell to audit the mechanical loads as the humanoid operated.
  4. Being that size constraints were a challenge, the miniature load cell fit perfectly into the architecture of the design and delivered exact force measurements via USB Solutions.
  5. These loads were streamed onto a PC and analyzed through FUTEK's SENSIT™ Test and Measurement Software.
