Torque Sensor
A sensor that perceives the forces acting on joints, enabling compliant control and safe interaction; the difficulties in mass production lie in complex calibration and poor batch consistency.
Timeline (last 90 days)
Globally, only a handful of suppliers have the mass-production capability for customized humanoid robot components such as precision reducers, torque sensors, and dexterous hands.
Torque sensors are responsible for sensing joint forces and are a prerequisite for achieving compliant control and safe interaction, but they face mass-production bottlenecks of complex calibration and poor batch consistency.
Core components such as harmonic reducers, torque sensors and dexterous hands are gradually becoming standardized, and startups can combine these components like picking Lego bricks.
Robots rely on IMUs (inertial measurement units), torque sensors, and joint encoders to collect data, which is then processed by control algorithms to compute compensatory actions.
