MACLoC - The Intelligent Climbing Wall The Intelligent Climbing Wall: Made Possible Thanks to Multi-Axis Sensors and QuantumX from HBM MACLoC is the acronym for Multi-Axis Climbing Load Cells for performance analysis in sport climbing, a team of researchers and students from T urin and Milan Polytechnic Universities. T ogether with HBM, the project group developed the prototype for a new type of “intelligent” climbing wall, which has been registered with the European Patent O?ce. Combining multi-axis force transducers and a QuantumX data acquisition system, the wall provides climbers with real-time information on their contact forces and the center of their mass. These valuable insights into the mechanics of climbing allow rapid technical improvements in a highly complex and growing ?eld o
