Robotic Cheetah

Cheetah footpads:
Researching different sensors to embed into the footpad. The cheetah currently uses 9 pressure sensors covered in a variety of soft materials to create a composite material footpad that measures both normal and shear forces through deformation. Using mbed and arduinos with bluetooth capability to measure and analyze the forces collected.
