FTA-Sensor: Combination of Force/Torque and Acceleration - Robotized Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation - page 115

Fig. 6.15 The maximum measured forces in relation to the robot speed. Using the FTA sensor is
displayed as a solid line, using no external emergency stop is shown as a dotted line. The gray
area represents the typical speed for robotized TMS (3-10 %)
