Abstract
A force/torque sensor includes a ground unit having an internal space, a sensor unit positioned within the internal space and including a plurality of electrodes generating capacitances with the ground unit, and a support unit combined with a portion of the ground unit and supporting the sensor unit.
Claims17
A force/torque sensor comprising:
- a ground unit including a sensing part, a base part, and a deformable part connecting the sensing part and the base part and elastically deformed, and wherein the ground unit has an internal space extending to a portion of the sensing part while passing through the base part and the deformable part;
- a sensor unit positioned within the internal space corresponding to the sensing part, and wherein the sensor unit includes a plurality of electrodes generating capacitances with the ground unit;
- and
- a support unit combined with the base part and supporting the sensor unit.

A force/torque sensor comprising:
- a ground unit having an internal space;
- and
- a sensor unit positioned within the internal space and including an electrode generating capacitance with the ground unit,
- wherein the capacitance is varied depending on a change in the distance between the ground unit and the electrode regardless of a direction in which force/torque are exerted.
