A force sensor and related method for determining force components. The force sensor includes a deformable medium (10) having a contact surface (8) against which a force (62) can be applied, a signal generator (12) for generating signals (60) that tra- vel through the deformable medium to the contact surface, a signal receptor (14) for receiving the signal (60') reflected from the contact surface, generation control means (18), a reception control means (20) and a force determination means (22). The signal generator has one or more signal generation regions (36) for generating the signals. The generation control means selects and acti- vates the signal generation regions. The signal receptor has one or more signal reception regions (52a, 52b, 52c) for receiving sig- nals and for generating detection signals in response thereto. The reception control means selects signal reception regions and de- tects the detection signals. The force determination means measures signal transit time by timing activation and detection and, optionally, determines force components for selected cross-field intersections.
