2P1-A14 Development of a wearable ground reaction force sensor system using flexible tactile sensors : Design and Experimental Evaluation

Abstract

This paper describes a design of a wearable sensor system that measures ground reaction forces of human by using flexible tactile sensors. First, the basic concept is discussed. Second, on the basis of the concept, the sensor system is proposed. Third, the sensor system is developed. Finally, the usefulness of the sensor system is examined from its experimental results.
