Sensors for computer controlled mechanical assembly

Abstract

This paper describes many sensors which are applicable to the requirements of the computer controlled assembly and manufacturing process. Various new types of sensors are presented including a multi‐degree of freedom force sensor using interchangeable modules, a pneumatic retractable whisker, an ultrasonic probe and various tactile and optical image sensors.
