Force Sensor Design
Lowcost point contact force sensors (
FSS1500NST? , Honeywell
Inc.) are used to build the force plate. They are embedded in a cast urethane plate. To improve accuracy
and make the fingertip force sensor less sensitive
to the point of application of the contact force, the signals
from three point-contact sensors are summed to obtain the
resultant force on the plate.

From the above picture you can see that three sensors are
held in the base plate. (sensors are not wired in this figure to
show a clear layout)
Following picture shows the sensors that attached on one user's fingertips
