Monitoring Knee Contact Force with Force-Sensing Insoles [PDF]
Sensors, 2023 Numerous applications exist for monitoring knee contact force (KCF) throughout activities of daily living. However, the ability to estimate these forces is restricted to a laboratory setting.

Event Augmentation for Contact Force Measurements
IEEE Access, 2022 Neuromorphic vision sensor is an attractive technology that offers high dynamic range, and low latency which are crucial in robotic applications. However, the lack of event-based data in this field, limits the sensors’ performance in a real-world ...

Contact forces in roughness discrimination [PDF]
Scientific Reports, 2020 AbstractRoughness perception through fingertip contact with a textured surface can involve spatial and temporal cues from skin indentation and vibration respectively. Both types of cue may be affected by contact forces when feeling a surface and we ask whether, on a given trial, discrimination performance relates to contact forces. We examine roughness

Contact forces in a granular packing [PDF]
Chaos: An Interdisciplinary Journal of Nonlinear Science, 1999 We present the results of a systematic numerical investigation of force distributions in granular packings. We find that all the main features of force transmission previously established for two-dimensional systems of hard particles hold in three-dimensional systems and for soft particles, too.

Development of a Contact Force Model Suited for Spherical Contact Event
Actuators, 2023 The stiffness coefficient suited for a spherical contact body is developed by means of a contact semi-angle based on Steuermann’s theory. The new static contact force model is close to the results of FEM when the index of the polynomial is equal to 2 ...

Sensorimotor control of contact force [PDF]
Current Opinion in Neurobiology, 2008 Interacting with objects in the environment introduces several new challenges for motor control: the potential for instability, external constraints on possible motions and novel dynamics. Grasping and manipulating objects provide the most elaborate examples of such motor tasks.

Contact force observer for space robots [PDF]
2019 IEEE 58th Conference on Decision and Control (CDC), 2019 In this paper, the problem of estimating a contact wrench at the end-effector for a space robot is addressed. To this aim, a generalized force observer based on a base-joints dynamics is first reviewed. Then, a different formulation is proposed, which is based on a centroidal-joints dynamics.

Stator-Rotor Contact Force Estimation of Rotating Machine
Automation, 2021 In turbomachines, dry friction resulting from stator–rotor contacts is a severe problem that may degrade lifetime of the machine or even lead to complete failure. Knowledge about the system states and contact forces is beneficial for system monitoring or
