Abstract

A torque sensor element for measuring a torque applied to a joint is described. The torque sensor element includes: an outer frame and an inner frame respectively to connect to first and second sides of a joint; and a compliant arrangement connecting the outer frame to the inner frame. The compliant arrangement includes: first and second members, each extending between and connecting the outer and inner frames, and each being resilient and deformable to permit some relative rotation between the outer and inner frames in response to an applied torque. A connecting structure extends between the first and second members and includes a first portion intermediate the first and second members which is configured responsive to a deformation of the first and/or second member to move by an amount determined by a degree of relative rotation between the outer and inner frames caused by a torque applied to the joint.
