Unibody curvature design for displacement-based force / torque detection

摘要

Exemplary devices include an inner element, an outer enclosing element, and a plurality of connecting curved elements coupled between the inner and outer enclosing elements. The inner element has a plurality of reflective surface areas that are configured to reflect light to the sensor. The outer enclosing element encloses the inner element. The plurality of connecting curved elements allows the inner element to move relative to the outer surrounding element.
