1P1-I18 Development of 6-axis Force Sensor for Simultaneous Measurement of Floor Reaction Force and Plantar Deformation

Abstract

This paper describes development of 6-axis force sensor. This aims at development of the walk analysis equipment which took into consideration the influence which a sense organ has. Concurrent use with picture acquisition of skin modification of the sole is aimed at. Therefore, a sensor needs to be small. Otherwise, the view of a camera will be barred. Sensor form was used as the beam. This sensor uses a distortion gauge. In order to centralize distortion, it has a balanced monotonous structure. It proofread by building a sensor. The subject's weight was measured.
