ABSTRACT:
A force and torque converter is provided that senses force and torque applied to the device. The converter includes a base, a grip, resilient connection members that extend radially and coplanarly from a central hub, located within the grip, and that connect to the grip, and sensing mechanisms to sense the displacement of the connection members. The displacements are resolved to determine the force and torque that is applied to the device, with respect to a Cartesian coordinate system.
