Abstract

Over the next decade, the number and variety of robots in the workplace will be soar, taking over many jobs
that are too dirty, too dull or too dangerous for people to do. In order to develop such intelligent robot, we need to give
them a strong sense so that it can interact with its environment. In this paper, design of six-axis Force/Moment (F/T)
sensor in three perpendicular directions with the stepped beam is developed. The design is checked using FEA method
and found to be safe. Preliminary design is developed using FEM and then Design of Experiments (DoE) is carried out in
order to get optimum design variables using FEA. Central Composite Design Type Design of experiments is carried out
and Genetic aggression type response surface is generated. For optimization by screening method, objective functions
and constraints are decided.
