Analyzing how man translates motion intentions to an object creates a requirement for a universal multi-axis force measurement device. The concept is based on the premise that to control the trajectory of a moving object we exert a force on that object, or on a surrogate device that represents the coordinate system of the objects trajectory. The following paper presents the design and the underlining technology of a universal multi axis force sensor (encompassing the surrogate coordinate system) through which we can control the trajectory of an object positioned with electro-mechanical actuators.
