Robotics Research 101: How Do Force Sensors Work?

Force sensors are ubiquitous in robotics research (they're everywhere!). But, how do they work? What are the differences between the various types? In this post, we blow apart this core robotics technology and have a look inside. Think of it as a crash course in robotic force sensing technology. It'll get a little bit technical, but we researchers like that, right?
