University of Delft: Scienti?c Research on Friction Delft University of T echnology Uses HBM Force Sensor for Scienti?c Research on Friction Research results can lead to new technology for form guidance of scopes The Biomechanical Engineering research group at the Delft University of T echnology has opted for an HBM force sensor in their research on friction between steel cables and various types of rubber. At ?rst glance, this may seem like a marginal area of research, but the ?ndings may lead to new technologies for form guidance of ?exible endoscopes (long, ?exible hoses with a camera on the end), possibly resulting in considerable savings in the medical sector. Over the short term, it may be possible to go ahead and implement the technology in defense and police applications for the de
