Main features and trends of torque sensors for robots
Multi-Axis Sensing: Many torque sensors integrate with force sensors (e.g., 6-axis force/torque sensors) to measure forces and moments in multiple directions.
Miniaturization: Compact designs for integration into small robot joints or end-effectors.
Digital Integration: Sensors often include embedded electronics for real-time data processing, compatible with IoT and AI-driven control systems.
Safety: Torque sensors enable force limitation in cobots, ensuring safe human-robot interaction (per ISO/TS 15066).
High Bandwidth: Modern sensors support high-frequency data for dynamic tasks like polishing or deburring.
