- Abstract:
- This paper proposes the architecture of a pressure sensing floor divided in rigid tiles. The system is based on a network of flexible pad pressure sensors, used under all tile corners, connected to special local data acquisition circuits. Signals captured by the sensor units are transmitted to a system controller that process, display and store the information received. The proposed architecture was applied in an interactive room with a 64 tiles floor, providing a network weight measuring system that allows detecting, recording and tracking the movement of objects or people over the sensitive area.
The scalable modular network architecture allows the development of cost effective pressure sensing applications in several environments and sensing areas. - Keywords:
