CASCADE: sensitive capacitive cable robot for obstacle detection

Description

Proximity-sensing cable for obstacles (human, object...), enabling the detection of a presence/intrusion within the perimeter near the cable using capacitive sensors.

Other technical details:

  • Electrical potential of the cable core
  • Induces the shielding, which emits an electric field around it
  • Any intrusion into this field changes the capacitance of the cable core


Cable characteristics : Traction/lifting / Detection up to 45 cm / Power and data transmission

Advantages : Contactless detection of all materials / Insensitive to interference and impurities / Ability to detect and stop a moving object before contact with an obstacle (equipment or human) within its operating field.

Partnership : Co-development; License agreement
