Abstract
Provided herein is a capacitive torque sensor, which can completely offset forces/torques in all axial directions, except for force/torque in a direction of a central axis, by measuring variations in capacitances of four sensing cells arrayed at angular intervals of 90 degrees on the basis of a center of the sensor and can offer a sensing value for the torque in a central axis direction.
