A novel compliant 6-DOF Force Sensor Development and Optimization
FY 2022-23 · 2022-08-01
Summary
A novel 6DOF Compliant Force/Torque Sensor (OFS) has been developed by MAE Robotics Inc. with early prototype completed in 2022. This project aims to characterize the behaviour of the optical transducer units (OTU) used inside the OFS system and to use the results to achieve an optimized next generation sensor OFS 2.0, with higher sensitivity, robustness, and structural simplicity. The project also aims to develop the custom high-precision automated testing equipment for transducers and sensors developed at MAE Robotics. The resulting technology and knowledge will place MAE in a strong position to further its commercialization activities as well application case studies with lead users.

Description (French)
MAE Robotics Inc. a mis au point un nouveau capteur de force/couple souple 6DOF (OFS) dont le premier prototype a été achevé en 2022. Ce projet vise à caractériser le comportement des unités de transduction optique (OTU) utilisées dans le système OFS et à utiliser les résultats pour réaliser un capteur optimisé de nouvelle génération OFS 2.0, avec une sensibilité, une robustesse et une simplicité structurelle plus grandes. Il vise également à développer l’équipement personnalisé de test automatisé de haute précision pour les transducteurs et les capteurs mis au point par MAE Robotics. La technologie et les connaissances qui en résulteront placeront l’entreprise en position de force pour poursuivre ses activités de commercialisation ainsi que les études de cas d’application avec les principaux utilisateurs.
