Get a grip: force control for robot end effectors

Robot end effectors are required in environments from the deep sea to the surgical theatre. While position control is necessary, the application must also integrate force sensing to ensure sensitive handling. Increasingly, robot end effectors also need to be actuated with remote and even virtual operation. To achieve accurate and repeatable control, careful specification of the motion system is essential.
