Force-controlled legged vehicles are the subject of worldwide research due to their intrinsic advantages in locomotion over different types of unstructured terrains. This paper presents a design for feet and ankles with an integrated sensor system to detect both force and contact surface orientation, thus enabling the implementation in a real legged robot of force optimization schemes that take into...
