Abstract
A system for detecting an application of pressure on a surface of an object, comprising a support of the object equipped with at least one sensor of force and of torque, and a processing unit configured to calculate, on the basis of the measurements of the at least one force and torque sensor, the coordinates of a straight line in space passing through a point of application of pressure on the surface of the object. The processing unit determines, by use of a ray-tracing calculation, whether an elementary facet of a geometric model of the surface of the object representing the surface according to a mesh of elementary facets intercepts the straight line passing through the point of application of pressure.
