Abstract
A force sensor includes at least one cavity defining at least two surfaces having different orientations. On each of said surfaces is disposed at least one respective detection structure sensitive to a pressure exerted on the corresponding surface. A resiliently deformable medium at least partially fills the cavity by coming into contact with the surfaces and defines a detection surface, on which a force to be detected is likely to be exerted. The application of this force is likely to generate stresses on each detection structure due to the transmission of forces by the medium.
