Brushless motors position sensors
Hall effect sensors are used in the iCub to measure the position of those joints controlled with brushless motors.
The table below reports the details. See the bill of materials for exact quantities.
| RobotCub code | Description | Manufacturer | Manuf. code | Supplier | Suppl. Order code | Suppl. Phone number | Suppl. Email/Website |

More informations
The picture below shows the layout of the MAIS card rendered on top of the CAD of the hand.
The size and shape of the MAIS PCB has been specifically trimmed to fit the available space on the back of the hand.
