  • Patent number: 11573140
    Abstract: This invention relates to force/torque sensor and more particularly to multi-axis force/torque sensor and the methods of use for directly teaching a task to a mechatronic manipulator. The force/torque sensor has a casing, an outer frame forming part of or connected to the casing, an inner frame forming part of or connected to the casing, a compliant member connecting the outer frame to the inner frame, and one or more measurement elements mounted in the casing for measuring compliance of the compliant member when a force or torque is applied between the outer frame and the inner frame.

  • Publication number: 20200262074
    Abstract: A remote robot monitoring system. It has a remote data server; a remote user interface; a robot with a general-purpose in processor programmable by program-code instructions; and computer-readable memory in communication with and accessible by the general-purpose processor, including: robot-task program code comprising instructions for execution by the processor to control functioning of the robot to perform a task; and robot monitoring program code distinct from the robot-task program code, wherein the robot monitoring program code is configured as a plug-in to the robot-task program code, the robot monitoring program code including: a data reception module to receive robot performance data; and remote data transmission program code to establish a connection with the remote data server to receive the robot performance data and transmit robot monitoring data according to the robot performance data to the remote data server.
