The BOT-LOGIC Shield has 28 servo channels, 12 of which have current feedback. This enables the shield to sense the amount of force the servo is applying.
What are the possibilities?

-
- Determine if a gripper is gripping an object as well as the amount of force applied

-
- Determine if a leg is supporting weight and what percentage is needed for balance
- If a leg has no reasonable force feedback, the robot may be about to step off the edge of a flat surface
- By reaching out and 'touching,' your robot can sense (see) if there is an object in its path
The uses are limited only by your imagination!
