Dear all!
I need your experience, knowledge and help!
I work for a force sensor company (a bit bigger than a startup ). We would like to make a new product (a new 6 axis force and torque sensor) for collaborative robots (e.g: UR).
But i'm stucked.
I don't know which applications these robots are used most often, and where (why) would be handy (and important) to have a 6 axis F/T sensor.
So what are the problems that you are facing and may be solved with a 6 axis F/T sensor?
What do you think which application requires a 6 axis F/T sensor in the field of Collaborative robots (Machine Tending- why? Pick&Place-why? -Small Part Assembly-why? etc.)
Do you have any special requirement for the F/T sensor? It has to be light or it must have a hole in the middle etc.?
One more comment (if it helps) our technology is based on the measurement of a silicone elastomer so it is a rather compliant sensor, this may come handy in assembly thanks, but correct my if i'm wrong!
Thank you for your time and help!
