Abstract
A fingertip-mounted six-axis force sensor includes a fingerstall into which a fingertip of a human is inserted, an elastic component connected and fixed to the fingerstall, adapted to distort in response to specific force components including fingertip contact forces and contact moments, and equipped with a distortion detecting device for detecting force components in three axial directions, and a finger cover equipped with a fitting block and connected and fixed to the elastic component via the fitting block. Distortion of the elastic component produced in response to the fingertip contact forces and contact moments exerted onto an object by the human fingertip is detected by the distortion detecting device and converted into an electrical signal that is taken out and processed to calculate the fingertip contact forces.
