Design and optimization of a novel six-axis force/torque sensor for space robot

A novel multi-component strain-gauge external balance for wind tunnel tests: Simulation and experiment

“…An interference error less than 2.85% was reported from the experimental measurements. Sun et al [7] designed and optimized a novel six-axis force/torque sensor for a space robot. They proposed a novel sensing structure with the through-hole beam.…”

Design, Fabrication and Calibration of Compliant, Multi-Axis, Fiber-Optic Force/Torque Sensors for Biomechanical Measurements

“…As high as 28% of cross-talk was reported in [157]. In [158,159] along the z-axis which also conrms the previously stated theoretical predictions.…”

“…As many as 32 strain gauges were cemented on the body structure of sensors in [159,196,201], resulting in larger amounts of data being transmitted. In an attempt to reduce the online communication bandwidth and number of wires out of the sensor, researchers used electronic components such as an internal microcontroller to group the sensing elements and pre-process data locally inside the sensor unit.…”

Automatic Strain Gauge Balance Design Optimization Approach and Implementation Based on Integration of Software

“…Early on, the strain gauge balance design including automated shape optimization [13] was primarily based on classical hand calculations or experiments until in the 1990s, the Finite Element Method (FEM) was exploited thoroughly in the structural optimization [14], [15]. Later, the design of experiments (DOE) methodology, the response surface methodology (RSM) or other optimization algorithms combined with FEM analysis were proposed to efficiently explore the design variables in the multidimensional design space in order to rely lightly on the experience and intuition of the balance designer [16]- [18]. Currently, most balance designers still prefer to obtain a balance by CAD and CAE tools, respectively [19]- [24], because of the discrete knowledge and computational support tools.…”
