Haptic exploration of objects with rolling and sliding
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present an approach for haptic exploration of unknown objects with dextrous robotic hands. The emphasis is on developing a robust manipulation process that allows fingers to traverse the surface of an object. The process consists of a sequence of phases in which some fingers are responsible for grasping and manipulating the object while others roll and slide over the object surface. The rolling/sliding fingers can utilize sensors to determine surface properties such as texture, friction or small features such as grooves and ridges. Simulations and experiments with a two-fingered hand were conducted to investigate the robustness of the approach for exploring various object shapes.

Detection for Haptic Exploration with Robotic Fingers
The authors consider the detection of small surface features, such as cracks, bumps, and ridges, on the surface of an object during haptic exploration and dexterous manipulation. Surface feature definition and detection are essential for intelligent haptic exploration and modeling of unknown objects. First, the authors review the representation of object surface geometry and present definitions...
متن کاملM Gripper: Extending the Dexterity of a Simple, Underactuated Gripper
In the development of robotic hands, researchers have sought to increase inherent functionality without incurring greater complexity and cost. In this paper, we extend the manipulation capabilities of a simple gripper through a novel, underactuated design that produces several distinctive modes of operation. The proposed asymmetric hand design, the Multi-Modal (M) Gripper, consists of a modular...

متن کاملHaptic Exploration of Fine Surface Features
In this paper we consider the detection of small surface features, such as ridges and bumps, on the surface of an object during dextrous manipulation. First we review the representation of object surface geometry and present de nitions of surface features based on local curvature. These de nitions depend on the geometries of both the robot ngertips and the object being explored. We also show th...
متن کاملA Comparision of Learning with Haptic and Visual Modalities
The impact of haptic feedback on the perception of unknown objects (10 without texture, 10 with texture, and 2 complex shapes) was examined. Using a point probe (a PHANTOM), three treatment groups of students (visual, haptic, and visual plus haptic feedback) explored a set of virtual objects. The visual treatment group observed the objects through a small circular aperture. Accuracy of percepti...
