This invention relates to force/torque sensor and more particularly to multi-axis force/torque sensor and the methods of use for directly teaching a task to a mechatronic manipulator. The force/torque sensor has a casing, an outer frame forming part of or connected to the casing, an inner frame forming part of or connected to the casing, a compliant member connecting the outer frame to the inner frame, and one or more measurement elements mounted in the casing for measuring compliance of the compliant member when a force or torque is applied between the outer frame and the inner frame.

The paint can holder is adapted for mounting on the rungs of a ladder and holding a paint can thereon while allowing the painter to attend to his work with both his hands free. The holder comprises a vertically mountable elongated member which has a curved part at the top, which is shaped to engage an upper rung of a ladder. The elongated member also has an attachment at its bottom end, which is constructed to snappingly engage a lower rung. The elongated member comprises a support which is provided between the curved part and the attachment. The holder comprises a brace which is arranged to hold the paint can and to be fixed along the elongated member. A paint brush handle holder may be provided along the curved part of the elongated member.
