Abstract

See full text

A device includes a first member (120) and a second member (122) disposed in series along a longitudinal axis. The device also includes links coupling first joints (124, 126) of the first member to second joints of the second member (128, 130). The first and second members and the links arranged to define a planar parallelogram linkage. The devices also include a resilient element (142) disposed between the first member and the second member, the first member and the second member preloaded against the resilient element. The first member and the second member are preloaded to provide an arrangement of the first and the second joints in which a motion of the first joints with respect to the second joints is constrained to a direction substantially parallel to the longitudinal axis. The devices further include a sensor (140) for generating a signal indicating a separation between the first member and the second member.
