Abstract: To meet the high-precision measurement requirements of 6-D force/torque sensing at the fingertips of a dexterous hand, this study develops a strain-based 6-D force/torque sensor. The sensor ...

Smartphones rely on multiple sensors—such as the accelerometer, gyroscope, compass, and proximity sensor—to power everyday features. From screen rotation and navigation apps to motion tracking and ...

Electric bikes with torque sensors provide a natural ride feel by adjusting motor assistance based on pedaling effort. Unlike ...

The idea of sensorizing a strain wave gear to measure the transmitted torque has been reported since the 1980s. The strain in the elastic flex spline is typically measured by strain gages attached to ...

Technologies such as load cells are too bulky or obtrusive to measure loads in some tight spaces; that’s where thin, flexible force sensors come into play. However, flexible force-sensing technology ...
