Abstract:
An apparatus includes a force sensor including a housing and a support coupled to the housing, where the apparatus can couple to a rotary component. The housing also includes a handle coupled to the support to facilitate applying a force to the apparatus. The apparatus further includes an angular position sensor to sense rotation related to the apparatus, which can include a rotation of the rotary component to which the apparatus is coupled, a relative rotation between the housing and the handle, where the handle is rotatably coupled to the housing, and/or the like. The apparatus also includes a force sensor enabled to measure an amount of force applied to the handle.
