Published purpose

This proposed project seeks to result in the development of a cutting-edge force torque sensor specifically designed for space flight applications. The proposed sensor aims to address the unique challenges encountered in space missions by providing accurate and reliable force and torque measurements in microgravity environments. The key objectives of this project include (1) Design Optimization, (2) Enhanced Sensitivity and Accuracy, (3) Real-time Data Acquisition and Analysis, (4) Integration and Testing. The successful implementation of this sensor will significantly advance the capabilities of space robotics by advancing manipulation and furthering the progress of space exploration.
