Human–robot collaboration is a new trend in modern manufacturing. Safety, or human protection, is of great significance due to humans and robots sharing the same workshop space. To achieve effective protection, in this paper, a contact force sensor based on an 8-shaped wound polymer optical fiber is proposed. The 8-shaped wound structure can convert the normal contact force to the shrinkage of the 8-shaped optical fiber ring. The macro-bending loss of the optical fiber is used to detect the contact force. Compared with conventional sensors, the proposed scheme has the advantage of high flexibility, low cost, fast response, and high repeatability, which shows great promise in actively alerting users to potential collisions and passively reducing the harm caused to humans.
