Abstract


This paper analyzes the requirements for the calibration of force-torque sensors (F/T sensors). Methods and means of calibration of the F/T sensors under load from weights are examined from the perspective of automation. Finally, this paper proposes the method for automatic calibration of the F/T sensor, developed at RTC.
