Abstract
An isolation mechanism that is configured for a robotic manipulator is provided. The robotic manipulator includes an arm to be driven by a transmission, a force/torque sensor, and one or more sensing elements configured to sense forces and torques applied to the force/torque sensor, wherein the isolation mechanism includes a body for coupling to an output of the transmission and for coupling to the force/torque sensor, wherein the body deforms in response to forces induced by the transmission to mechanically isolate the force/torque sensor from forces induced by the transmission.
