Real-time mapping of friction and shear force
The sheet-type sensor can measure friction and shear force at multiple locations at the same time.
The conventional way of friction force mapping requires arranging multiple rigid and bulky 3-axis force sensors.
Our sheet-type sensor maps friction force distribution at minimum 4 millimeter pitch positional resolution by fabricating 3-axis force sensing matrix elements on the substrate.
This entirely new sensor provides not only z-axis pressure but also shear stress mapping by detecting deformation of the elastic base material.
The sensor system not only visualizes static contact pressure but also provides real-time dynamic mapping of friction force between the road and the tire in a state of low-speed rotation and twisting during cornering.
The sensor system also visualizes the friction and shear force distribution on the surface of a chair or a wheelchair and provides real-time mapping of force changes caused by the shift of body weight and the change of sitting posture.

This product is a measuring device and is not classified as a medical device.
Flat sensor sheet
The thin flat sheet sensor can be placed on the road without making a bump and make it easy to analyze the tire contact and the gait.
Densely populated sensing matrix elements
The sensing elements are arranged in a matrix on the film substrate. The friction force can be measured in both X and Y components. The sensor provides high positional resolution of friction force on surfaces of tires and shoe soles.
