Abstract

Although present-day force/torque (F/T) sensors are mostly designed and used as if they were quasi-static devices, if significant compliance and/or stringent requirements on measurements bandwidth are in order, a dynamic analysis of such sensors is necessary. In this paper we consider the optimal (in a worst-case sense) design of F/T sensors, based on distributed-parameter models of its compliance, and algorithms that can be used to obtain F/T measurements in real time with high bandwidth. Theoretical expectations are confirmed by experimental results
