Product development and prototyping

Simulator and test rig for motion-sensor development

A horse-leg simulator and video motion-tracking software built to develop an equine motion sensor. The simulator was designed for inertial forces of up to 400G. A high-speed camera system and analysis software compare sensor data with actual movement. A servo-driven jig also generates defined motion paths, with software controlling speed, direction, repetition count and path type.
