Pressure Sensor for Human - Robot interaction

Tactilus® brings its advanced plantar pressure mapping and gait analysis capabilities into robotic applications focused on the human body.

The system measures variations in foot pressure through thousands of tiny piezoresistive elements embedded across the sensor plate, allowing robotic platforms to interpret contact forces with exceptional precision. Just as the plate records localized pressure points and complete load distribution patterns in clinical or podiatric settings, it provides robotic systems with the same level of detailed information needed to support accurate assessment of foot–ground interaction and controlled human movement.

Its durable yet lightweight sensing surface, combined with feature-rich software, enables real-time acquisition of pressure behavior that can assist robots involved in gait monitoring, movement evaluation, or automated data collection related to foot mechanics.

The software processes millions of data points into 2D and 3D pressure maps, comprehensive force analysis, distribution patterns, time-based gait characteristics, foot comparisons, and detailed examination of nineteen plantar regions, along with visual reconstruction of the gait line.

All data can be seamlessly exported for further use in analytical environments such as Excel or other compatible platforms, ensuring that Tactilus® integrates smoothly into robotic workflows that require precise, high-density plantar pressure information.
