Abstract

Unlike the sensor applied on the ground, the sensors for underwater application have to endure the high-pressure, low-temperature and corrosive environment. To measure the multidimensional interactive force/moment between underwater manipulators and the griping objects, novel modeling force/moment sensor with mentioned consideration is needed. In this paper, a new six-dimensional force/moment sensor, which detects forces Fx, Fy and Fz, and moments Mx, My and Mz, simultaneously, is designed, fabricated and tested. The theoretical analysis and fabrication procedure of the proposed sensor are included in this paper, and calibration test experiment results demonstrate the design could detect force/moment with good linearity, high sensitivity.
