Abstract
A switching type six-axis force-torque sensor is provided which includes: a sensor substrate attached to a structural body to be measured. A first measuring unit is installed at one side in respect to a central portion of the sensor substrate and measures strain and a second measuring unit is installed on the sensor substrate at a position that faces the first measuring unit in respect to the central portion and measures strain. Further, a third measuring unit is installed at a position that is orthogonal to a connecting line, which connects the first measuring unit and the second measuring unit, and measures strain and a fourth measuring unit is installed at a position that faces the third measuring unit in respect to the central portion and measures strain.
