Different types of haptic feedback require an acquisition of environmental data by different kinds of haptic sensors. Most commonly, force torque sensors in the wrists or other joints of the robot are used. In addition, tactile input is achieved by sensor matrices based on various physical working principles. Sometimes, data inputs of depth perception and surface perception have to be combined to achieve an optimal haptic sensing. 1, record 1, English, - haptic%20sensor

Un capteur passif ne fait que recevoir l'énergie naturellement réfléchie par les objets présents dans la scène. Plusieurs capteurs passifs sont utilisés pour la robotique ou pour la surveillance : les capteurs inertiels (détection de vibrations, de mouvement), les capteurs haptiques (contact), mais les plus connus sont les capteurs visuels [...] 1, record 1, French, - capteur%20haptique

A wrist force sensor measures the three components of force and three components of torque between the hand and the terminal link of the manipulator. Basically, a wrist force sensor consists of a structure with some compliant sections and transducers that measure the compliant sections along three orthogonal axes as a result of the applied force and torque. 2, record 2, English, - wrist%20force%20sensor
