# Select Sensors

The main advantage of a legged system is its ability to carry payloads on uneven terrain. Therefore, we have focused on developing a highly modular system with a payload capacity to scope with any type of sensor. Unlike other systems, you can change towards all sides and through the core of the robot.

With following three steps you are able to integrate any sensor:

1. Sensor Selection: Define your sensor for the mission
2. Assembly with adapter bracket carrier&#x20;
3. Add to bysense and install cables

We classify the payload by its location of installation, Front & Back, Core and Feet.

## Sensors Selection

Select in the first step your sensors you want to bring to walk.&#x20;

## Adapter Bracket Selection

To scope with any sensor you have following options to select the right bracket for you:

* Take a existing adapter bracket
* Download one of the brackets and print it
* Design your own bracket for your desired application

Based on your sensor and bracket selection you can continue with the installation
