Patent attributes
Embodiments herein are directed to a pedal pad assembly that includes a housing, a pedal pad, at least one link member, at least one sliding member, and a sensor. The pedal pad is coupled to the housing and configured to translate the housing along a first movement axis in response to a load applied to the pedal pad. A proximal end of the at least one link member is coupled to an outer surface of the housing. The at least one sliding member is coupled to a distal end of the at least one link member. The sensor is configured to sense a position of the at least one sliding member along a second movement axis. During a translation of the housing along the first movement axis, the proximal end of the at least one link member moves translating the at least one sliding member about the second movement axis.
