Force Gauge
Force Gauge is a force-measurement element associated with Intuitive Surgical and its da Vinci robotic-surgery ecosystem (which introduced force feedback in the da Vinci 5 system). In robotic surgery, a force gauge/measurement informs the surgeon of forces acting on tissue, supporting force control and manipulation safety. NOTE: the exact purpose, form (standalone sensor, instrument feature or interface element) and technical parameters of this specific "Force Gauge" product could not be confirmed from an accessible, reliable source (Intuitive's official pages are dynamically rendered); they require verification.

Force Torque Sensor
Which group Force Gauge belongs to and how it is built
A Force Torque Sensor measures linear forces and rotational torques at a single measurement point. In robotics, it is particularly important in manipulators, robot wrists, grippers, and human–robot collaboration systems. It enables force control, contact detection, load monitoring, and improved safety and manipulation precision. Sensors of this type are widely used in assembly, laboratory, and research applications.
