Abstract
The disclosure relates to a multiaxial force-torque sensor having a transducer structure, with strain gauges placed in defined areas to measure the strain, from which the forces and torques are calculated, and where the transducer structure can include (e.g., consist of) two concentric rings connected with spokes. The transducer structure can be a planar mechanical structure, and all strain gauges can be applied to the same surface of the transducer structure to measure non-radial strain components.
