A Scropion Racing for Dryer Weather

Our team in Seattle came across a "scorpion" that was displaced from his home!

Luckily, ARAMIS Optical Strain Gage had no problem measuring its displacements. Using an ARAMIS 12M Adjustable system in "fast mode" at 3 Mpx at 100 Hz, we captured the displacement and the six degrees of freedom (6-DoF) as Mr. Scorpion scurried across the table.

The acquisition of the data was done with spray paint, target markers, and the ARAMIS 3D Digital Image Correlation Optical Strain Gage. We sent Mr. Scorpion in the right direction for home, and, in only a couple of minutes, ARAMIS captured incredible data at a much faster rate than foil strain gages.
