A research team led by Professor Cheol Song at the Department of Robotics and Mechatronics Engineering, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science and Technology (DGIST), has successfully developed an optical interferometer-based sensor system that can simultaneously measure ultra-precise force and depth information. As this sensor system can detect even small forces while simultaneously providing distance information, it is expected to be widely used in medical procedures and precision robotics in the future.
