What's the Potential of Force Torque Sensors in Collaborative Robotics?

Why should a manufacturer put a force torque sensor on a collaborative robot? Robotiq's CTO Jean-Philippe (JP) Jobin had an interesting chat with Engineering.com's Isaac Maw last week. They spoke about Robotiq's FT 300 Force Torque Sensor and the engineering behind it, as well as the future of force-sensitive applications.
