Research on Tactile Sensors Interface - Review of Theoretical and Practical Approach

Abstract

The research presented in this paper aims to review the theoretical and practical approach for one of method to create the interface, to condition and to gather the data from the resistive force tactile sensor, in for the measuring of the vertical reaction force to the ground during human walking. The project result is a portable electronic system which allows the gathering, storing and transmission of the data from the force sensors mounted in an “overshoe” holder [1]. The article presents the research methods for the measured parameters as vertical reaction force to the ground, measured in 10 contact points between the foot sole and the ground by the help of some tactile sensors. The paper analysis all issues related to providing an optimal solution for the support with sensors and presents the conclusions for practical design.
