The Robo-Mate trunk module only works with an on-board computer that can process, in real-time, signals from various sensors and calculate an adequate response to these signals. The company that provided this on-board computer to Robo-Mate was "Tiny Green PC". The company managed to have a case study published in a few italian media, highlighting the role of their product in the Robo-Mate project:

Lab tests finished

5/26/2016

 
Robo-Mate has tested its three modules in ZHAW's labs in Winterthur, Switzerland. The lab tests serve a twofold purpose: First, results can be used to adjust either the prototype or the testing plan for the tests in real industrial scenarios. Second, in a controlled environment engineers can include a number of measurements that they could not include in an industrial scenario (for example with EMG, force plate, and video recording).
