Abstract
A torque sensor () includes a sensor unit (), a resilient body (), and a detection unit (). The sensor unit () detects, from an output unit that is a rotational body of an actuator, a rotational position in an annular first area positioned at a first distance from a rotation center, and a rotational position in an annular second area positioned at a second distance longer than the first distance from the rotation center. The resilient body () is provided between the first area and the second area. The detection unit () detects a torque applied to the output unit, on the basis of a result of the detection by the sensor unit ().
