Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017076789A1] The invention pertains to a system (1) for detecting an application of pressure on a surface of an object (0), comprising a support of the object equipped with at least one sensor of force and of torque (2-4), and a processing unit (5) configured to calculate, on the basis of the measurements of the at least one force and torque sensor, the coordinates of a straight line in space passing through a point of application of pressure on the surface of the object. The processing unit determines, by means of a ray-tracing calculation, whether an elementary facet of a geometric model of the surface of the object representing said surface according to a mesh of elementary facets intercepts the straight line passing through the point of application of pressure.
