Detailed Description

The traction sensors of the MarXbot.

The traction sensor of the MarXbot. This only works when in dynamic mode. The force is only sensed on the plane (x and y axes). This sensor has 4 neurons: one for positive force along the x axis, one for negative force along the x axis, one for positive force along the y axis and one for negative force along the y axis

In addition to all parameters defined by the parent class (MarXbotSensor), this class also defines the following parameters:

  • maxForce: the value of the force on one axis over which the corresponding neuron is activated with 1
  • drawSensor: if true the sensor is drawn with an arrow indicating the current direction of the force

The resources required by this Sensor are the same as those of the parent class
