Robot Force Torque Sensors: Current and Future Applications

Force torque sensors are commercially available in many sizes with various measurement ranges. They provide precious input to the robot controller, which uses this information to modify the robot’s behavior in conformance with its pre-designed task. These sensors increase the robot’s sensitivity in a variety of applications. In this article, we discuss some of the most common applications and uses for force/torque sensors.
