Six-axis force sensors : a comparative study

A comparative study of three six-axis force sensors selected after an extensive literature survey is presented. A sensor to measure ground contact force at each foot of a walking machine is recommended.
Principles of force sensing are reviewed and characteristics of sensing elements are discussed. Results of simulation of three six-axis force sensors are presented as behavior curves, sensitivity plots and compliance matrices. These simulations use finite element techniques.
Condition numbers of compliance matrices are presented as a measure of overall sensor performance. Estimates of manufacturing costs are included as a final selection criterion. / Graduation date: 1994
