Novatech Project: UK Based Automotive Company

CUSTOMER: UK based automotive company PROJECT: A robotic actuator created to replicate the action of a human foot on a brake pedal with the measurement of the force normal to a brake pedal needed through the complete arc of pedal travel. The actuator applies a force via a universal joint to the loadcell. As the brake pedal rotates around its pivot, the angle at which the force is applied through the loadcell changes. This angle can be up to 40° dependant on the vehicle type.
