A Biomimetic Haptic Sensor
The design and implementation of the periphery of an artificial whisker sensory system is presented. It has been developed by adopting a biomimetic approach to model the structure and function of rodent facial vibrissae. The artificial vibrissae have been formed using composite materials and have the ability to be actively moved or whisked. The sensory structures at the root of real vibrissae h...
متن کاملBiomimetic Tactile Sensor Array
The performance of robotic and prosthetic hands in unstructured environments is severely limited by their having little or no tactile information compared to the rich tactile feedback of the human hand. We are developing a novel, robust tactile sensor array that mimics the mechanical properties and distributed touch receptors of the human fingertip. It consists of a rigid core surrounded by a w...
متن کاملA biomimetic sensor for a crawling minirobot
This paper presents the development of a biomimetic sensor, with the ability to imitate exteroceptor and proprioceptor functions of invertebrates, such as earthworms. A polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) film is selected as the sensing element because it is flexible, highly sensitive and easy to be integrated in different shapes. Perforated PVDF strips are embedded in a segmented silicone shell of ...
متن کاملHaptic Exploration for Navigation Tasks using a Visuo-Haptic Sensor
A system is presented for the haptic exploration of objects in a household environment. Haptic properties are acquired using a passive, deformable sensor tip mounted on a platform. The sensor deformation is measured visually, allowing for a flexible and low-cost design. Navigation of simple robots, such as vacuum cleaners, is improved by active manipulation. Simple service robots for households...
متن کاملThe WHaT: a Wireless Haptic Texture Sensor∗
We describe the WHaT, a wireless device for haptic texture measurement and interaction. The WHaT is designed for simultaneously measuring contact force and acceleration in a hand-held probe. The probe is small and can be comfortably held, like a pen. It transmits contact measurements to a host computer over a wireless link, with low latency. We discuss the design and initial evaluation of the d...
