In this paper, an integrated ankle torque sensor and mechanism (Foot Link) of a Tendon driven-type wearing walking aid robot were designed. The foot link consists of an ankle torque sensor and a mechanism connected to the footrest. The size of the sensing part of the ankle torque sensor was designed through structural analysis and assembled by attaching a strain gauge. As a result, the reproducibility error and the nonlinearity error were within 0.04%, respectively. And the calibration result of the ankle torque sensor, reproducibility error, and non-linearity error were identified to be within 1%, respectively. Therefore, it is proposed that the ankle torque sensor presented in this paper can be used to measure the torque acting on the tendon-driven walking aid robot.
