Chinese scientists develop robot multi-dimensional force sensors

Recently, Chinese scientists have made major breakthroughs in the field of robotics technology and have successfully developed a high-precision multi-dimensional force sensor, providing key technical support for the intelligent development of robots. The result is led by a team from an institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The relevant papers have been published in the top international journal "Science Robot", which has attracted widespread attention from the global science and technology community.

1. Technical breakthrough: the core advantages of multi-dimensional force sensors

Traditional force sensors usually can only measure forces in a single direction, while multi-dimensional force sensors can detect forces and moments in multiple directions at the same time, significantly improving the robot's environmental perception ability. Here are the key performance parameters of this sensor:

2. Application scenarios: broad potential from industry to medical care

This sensor can be applied to multiple fields, and the following are its typical application scenarios and values:

3. Industry response: evaluation by domestic and foreign experts

This achievement has aroused high praise from the academic and industry circles at home and abroad:

• Zhang Moumou, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Sciences: "This technology fills the gap in domestic high-precision multi-dimensional force sensors and is of great significance to the development of robots' independent development."
• John Smith, an expert from the International Federation of Robotics: "The innovative design of the Chinese team provides new ideas for global robot perception technology."
• CEO of an industrial robot company: "We have reached a cooperation intention with the R&D team to plan to apply sensors to the next generation of collaborative robot products."

4. Future Outlook: Technology Iteration and Market Prospects

The R&D team said that the next step will focus on optimizing the cost structure and mass production process of sensors, and it is expected to achieve large-scale mass production within the next three years. According to market research institutions, the global robotic force sensor market size will grow from US$1.2 billion in 2023 to US$3.5 billion in 2030, and China is expected to account for more than 30%.

This breakthrough not only marks China's technical strength in the field of high-end sensors, but also injects new impetus into the upgrading of the global robot industry. With the integration of artificial intelligence and Internet of Things technology, multi-dimensional force sensors may become the "standard configuration" of smart equipment, promoting profound changes in manufacturing, medical care, service and other fields.
