measuring force/torque in a joint. How?

Post by marcimatz »

Hello,

Is there a simple way to retrieve the force or torque that is being exerted in a joint? E.g. I want to have a 6 legged robot walk over some obstacles, but without having a force/torque sensor in each leg, it is almost impossible to generate stable and elegant motions.

Thank you
