Physical measures of anthropometry, functional mobility, strength endurance, strength, power, speed, agility, anaerobic aerobic endurance were assessed. Tackler, ball-carrier, ruck assessed using video analys...

Presented in this report is an overview of robotic sensors, many of which are in experimental stages. Two main sensor types are discussed: contact and noncontact. Descriptions of the physical measurements. how they are measured, and operating principles of specific devices are provided for both types of sensors. Contact, or tactile, sensors comprise three groups: touch, proximity, and slip sens...
