https://www.botasys.com/products-6axis SensONE is an accurate 6-Axis Force Torque Sensor integrated with IMU designed for advanced applications in automation and robotics industry. It is a high stiffness, high sensitivity, robust sensor. Its EtherCAT and Serial (RS422/RS485) or USB output can deliver up to 1000 Samples per second. It is integrated with a 6-DoF IMU, Temperature sensors, IP67 and a big range of power supply from 9 to 70 V. You can use the signal directly as an input to your robot controller. All electronics are integrated. No mechanical adapters are needed. SensONE has integrated ISO flanges for both sides. Ideal for mobile applications due to high power supply range. One of its kind product and the best solution for force sensitive applications at the most competitive market price. This 6-Axis Force Torque Sensor is designed for force and position control. It is the easiest sensor to integrate in your robotic system. It can perform high precision assembly, polishing, product testing and safe interaction. The SensONE Force Torque Sensor is offered with URCaps for Universal Robots and software packages for other robots to enable you to speed up your application development.

This video demonstrates the performance of the Rehabilitation Robot proposed in the IEEE paper: "ANYexo: A Versatile and Dynamic Upper-Limb Rehabilitation Robot" Abstract: This paper presents a versatile upper-limb exoskeleton based on low-impedance torque controllable series elastic actuators. It is designed as an experimental platform to validate novel algorithms and hardware concepts that aim towards more autonomy of robots for therapy of moderately and severely affected patients with a neural impairment (\eg after stroke). The proposed exoskeleton was designed to have a large range of motion to cover the activities of daily life (ADL). The robot should behave transparent even at speeds up to $\approx$\SI{6}{\radian/\second} which are common for healthy people to not constrain patients. The presented robot achieves a similar RoM as needed for ADL, while the kinematics are optimized for high manipulability at ADL. We use modified modular series elastic actuators that provide the power, torque control bandwidth and precision required for this application. The presented robot unites a large RoM, high power to weight ratio, high torque control fidelity at speeds typical for healthy people, and versatility for experiments in one device. To our knowledge no other device exists that is tailored to such an extent for this application. We demonstrate with a model based compensation of the robots dynamics a transparent behavior even at high speeds.

ANYmal Quadrupedal robot is Using Rokubi Mini 1.00 6 - Axis Force Torque Sensors for contact detection

We present a hybrid algorithm for sensorless fast contact detection and accurate external force estimation, implemented on the 6 DoF compliant robot arm ANYpulator. By using the proposed algorithm, we demonstrate the following experiment: 1. The controller switches to force tracking mode from pose tracking mode as soon as contact is detected. 2. The controller switches back to pose tracking mode and tracks the desired pose as soon as the contact is released. Tianlu Wang, Martin Wermelinger, Jan Carius, Marco Hutter
