When Robots Gain "Touch": The Marvelous Adventure of Six-Dimensional Force/Torque Sensors

Do Robots Really Have “Touch” Now? On industrial production lines, robots can accurately perceive the shape, position, and assembly force of components, efficiently and flawlessly completing complex assembly tasks. This may seem like a plot from a science fiction movie, but it is gradually becoming a reality through six-dimensional force/torque sensors, which provide robots with … Read more

Overview of Six-Dimensional Force Sensors in Robotics

1. Force Sensors Force sensors can be classified into one-dimensional, three-dimensional, and six-dimensional types. Six-dimensional force sensors are suitable for high-precision applications such as robotics. A torque sensor, as the name suggests, is a sensor that perceives and measures force. Force sensors can be categorized into three types based on measurement dimensions: one-dimensional force sensors, … Read more
