Abstract
Described herein is a force attenuator for a force sensor. The force attenuator can linearly attenuate the force applied on the force sensor and therefore significantly extend the maximum sensing range of the force sensor. The area ratio of the force attenuator to the force sensor determines the maximum load available in a linear fashion.
