Abstract
A sensor assembly for an actuation device of a vehicle includes a control device and a first sensor group with a first and a second force sensor. At least one of the force sensors is mechanically coupled to the actuation device, and at least one is electrically coupled to the control device. Each force sensor is designed to detect a force acting on the respective force sensor regardless of the other force sensors. The control device determines a force exerted by the actuation device on the force sensor based on a measurement signal received via the at least one force sensor. The force sensors of the first sensor group are arranged on top of one another or next to one another relative to the actuation device.

A sensor assembly for an actuation device of a vehicle comprising:
- at least one control device;
- and
- a first sensor group having a first force sensor and a second force sensor,
- wherein at least one of the first and/or second force sensors is mechanically coupled with the actuation device, and at least one of the first and/or second force sensors is electrically coupled with the control device,
- wherein each of the first and second force sensors is configured to detect a force acting on the respective force sensor independently of other force sensors of the sensor assembly,
- wherein the control device is configured to determine a force exerted by the actuation device on each respective force sensor based on a measurement signal received from the respective force sensor, and
- wherein the first and second force sensors of the first sensor group are arranged one on top of another or adjacent to one another with respect to the actuation device.
