Three types of thin, flexible force sensor were studied under a variety of loading
conditions to determine their suitability for measuring grip force. Static accuracy, hysteresis,
repeatability, and drift errors were established, the effects of shear force and surface curvature
were considered, and dynamic accuracy and drift were measured. Novel tests were developed
to consider dynamic accuracy and sensitivity to shear loadings. Additionally, three sensors were
evaluated in a real-life gripping scenario, measuring grip force during a golf shot. Comments are
made on sensor performance, ease of use, and durability
