OpenTac force estimation validated against load cell across 0.1 N to 10 N

_krishna_murthy · x · 2026-10-22

The OpenTac team validated force estimation against a load cell: the sensor covers 0.1 N–10 N, with the range tunable by changing the piezoresistive element or the electrode gap/resolution. The paper includes further ablations, including shear force estimates benchmarked against commercial 6-axis F/T sensors.
