美国FUTEK传感器公司发展历程
FUTEK*传感器技术,公司很荣幸地宣布其zui近于十月在瑞士苏黎世举行的*Cybathlon竞争研究所人机认知(IHMC)赞助8,第二千〇十六
该Cybathlon是一个竞争确实邀请企业和高校通过与残疾人侧,以发展辅助设备上工作的一面。该IHMC队在动力服竞赛优胜该事件的银牌*二的整体。为了证明外骨骼的有效性,IHMC选择马克丹尼尔,谁持续一个脊髓损伤,在五个选自六个可能的任务来争夺动力服竞争。
IHMC开发了一个新的外骨骼拥有一个新的驱动器设计名为米娜V2的Cybathlon竞争。这种新的设计是*的,FUTEK传感器DASS包括增加动力的脚踝,这使得外骨骼更稳定,比以前的版本快。
米娜V2集成了FUTEK的LCB200杆端称重传感器到其所有执行器。彼得纽豪斯,IHMC的研究科学家解释说,“LCB200称重传感器,从FUTEK,是FUTEK传感器每一个执行器用来衡量所做的致动器施加的扭矩。测量扭矩是至关重要的,因为FUTEK传感器使用所测量的值中的反馈回路,以控制到电动机的电流。如此,通过地知道转矩,计算机可以做出关于如何控制外骨骼的重要决定。这个整合称重传感器到执行器转定期的,可控的位置,执行机构到高保真,扭矩控制的执行机构“。
关于IHMC:本IHMC是全国的研究机构都集中在人与机器之间的关系之一。他们的研究人员继续开发有用的技术系统,以提高人的认知,身体和感知能力。
关于FUTEK:FUTEK*传感器技术,公司是称重传感器,扭矩传感器,压力传感器,多轴传感器和相关的仪器和软件的制造商美国。位于南加州,FUTEK已经建立了声誉的测试和测量工具供应商。由于传感器解决方案来源,FUTEK提供测试和测量产品,许多行业,尤其是爱情医疗,机器人和航空航天。

IRVINE, Calif.: FUTEK Advanced Sensor Technology, Inc. is proud to announce its recent sponsorship of the Institute for Human and Machine Cognition (IHMC) in the very first Cybathlon competition held in Zurich, Switzerland on Oct. 8, 2016.
The Cybathlon is an international competition that invites companies and universities to work side by side with disabled people in order to develop assistive devices. The IHMC team placed second overall in the Powered Exoskeleton Race winning the silver medal for that event. In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the exoskeleton, IHMC chose Mark Daniel, who has sustained a spinal cord injury, to compete in five out of six possible tasks for the Powered Exoskeleton competition.
IHMC developed a new exoskeleton featuring a new actuator design called Mina v2 for the Cybathlon competition. This new design is unique in that it includes the addition of powered ankles, which allows the exoskeleton to be more stable and faster than previous versions.
Mina v2 incorporates FUTEK’s LCB200 Rod End Load Cell into all of its actuators. Peter Neuhaus, IHMC’s Senior Research Scientist explains, “The LCB200 load cell, from FUTEK, is used in each of our actuators to measure the torque that the actuator is applying. Measuring the torque is critical because we use the measured value in our feedback loop to control the current to the motor. Also, by precisely knowing the torque, the computer can make important decisions about how to control the exoskeleton. Integrating this load cell into the actuator turn a regular, position controllable, actuator into a high fidelity, torque controllable actuator.”
About the IHMC: The IHMC is one of the nation’s leading research institutes that focus on the relationships between humans and machines. Their researchers continue to develop useful technological systems to enhance the cognitive, physical and perceptual capacities of humans.
