High precision 3 axis FT Sensor | AIDIN ROBOTICS

The AIDIN ROBOTICS 3-axis F/T Sensor (3FT1000/2000 series) is a high-precision force-and-torque sensor specifically engineered for humanoid robotic applications. According to the product details, this sensor is mounted on the robot’s ankle (or other joint/foot applications) to capture critical ground reaction forces and torques, enabling more stable, human-like walking and posture control.

 

Key Features and Capabilities

Ø  It is designed to measure forces and torsional moments in three axes: vertical force (Fz), and two moment axes (MX and MY).

Ø  It supports a high load capacity — the 3FT1000/2000 series can measure up to approximately 2,000 N of force, while maintaining a compact form factor to suit ankle or joint integration.

Ø  Because it detects both load and posture of the foot (or joint) in real time, it enables the robot’s control system to respond to ground contact events, uneven terrain, twisting/tipping motions and other disturbances — thereby improving gait stability and motion precision.

Ø  The sensor is versatile: although its primary application is the ankle of a humanoid robot, the documentation notes it “can be applied to various parts of humanoid robots, such as joints and ankles”.        

 

Why this matters for humanoid robotics

 

In humanoid robotics, stability during walking and interaction with the environment is critically dependent on accurate sensing of foot–ground contact forces, moments, and distribution of load. Embedding a dedicated 3-axis force/torque sensor at the ankle provides the robot’s control system with the feedback needed to adapt to irregular surfaces, detect slippage or tipping, adjust joint torques dynamically, and maintain a stable center of mass and foot placement. The AIDIN sensor’s high load capacity means it can accommodate realistic weights and dynamic forces encountered during walking or human-interaction tasks. By integrating this sensor, a humanoid robot can approach more natural gait patterns, safer movement, and higher interaction fidelity.
