Abstract

In a sensing device and a robot manipulator having the sensing device, the sensing device includes a cover, a force sensor and a force information calculating part. The cover has a predetermined shape and is configured to cover a body. The force sensor is disposed at a position between the body and the cover, and is configured to measure a force and a torque applied via the cover at the position. The force information calculating part is configured to obtain an information on the force applied to the cover from data measured by the force sensor, when the force is applied to an arbitrary position of the cover.
