Sensing of Intelligent Robots Based on Applications of Tactile Slip Displacement Sensors

This paper discusses the design of modern tactile and slip displacement sensors for informationcontrol systems of intelligent and adaptive robots. It provides information on three approaches for using slip displacement signals (for correction of claiming force, for identification of manipulated object mass and for correction of robot control algorithm). The study presents the analysis of different methods for slip displacement signals detection, as well as new sensors schemes, mathematical models and correction methods. Special attention is paid to investigations of sensors developed by authors with the capacity, magnetic sensitive elements and with automatic adjustment of clamping force. The proposed structure of multi-functional computerized information-control system for intelligent robot is presented. Copyright © 2015 IFSA Publishing, S. L.
