Abstract
This paper proposes a one-body optical torque sensor. The proposed sensor has advantages of anti-slip and low cost due to the simple one-body structure. Simulations for stress and strains analysis are accurately performed. To demonstrate the performance of proposed design, experiments were also carried out to compare it with a commercial force/torque sensor (Mini45, ATI).
