J2: A High Load Density Miniature Force Sensor for Probing With Robot Feet Published in IEEE Robotics and Automation Letters(RA-L), 2025
Force sensing on the end effector is crucial for mobile, legged robots to adapt to varying terrain and manipulate objects in complex environments. In this paper, we demonstrate a low-cost solution to this problem that integrates four sets of strain gauges, analog-to-digital conversion, and data processing into a single leg of a crab-scale robot.
