12-AXIS SPATIAL FORCE SENSOR

Spatial force-position sensing

12dFA Motus™ 12-Axis Spatial Force Sensor

A core force-feedback component for embodied-intelligence robots, built for fine control of hands and feet. It synchronously measures multi-axis forces, moments, acceleration and angular acceleration in the spatial Cartesian frame, delivering precise force-position feedback for robot motion control. Multiple selectable measurement ranges adapt to different task scenarios. Built-in intelligent algorithms keep inter-axis coupling, thermal drift and time drift low, so tuning and maintenance work stays minimal.
