Tele - operation of a Robot Arm with Electro Tactile Feedback Daniel
نویسنده
چکیده
Tactile feedback from a remotely controlled robotic arm can facilitate certain tasks by enabling the user to experience tactile or force sensations from the robot's interaction with the environment. However, equipping both the robot and the user with tactile sensing and feedback systems can be complex, expensive, restrictive and application specific. This paper introduces a new tele-operation haptic feedback method involving electro-tactile feedback. This feedback system is inexpensive, easy to setup and versatile in that it can provide the user with a diverse range of tactile sensations and is suitable for a variety of tasks. We demonstrate the potential of our electro-tactile feedback system by providing experimental results showing how electro-tactile feedback from a teleoperated robotic arm equipped with range sensors can help with avoiding obstacles in cluttered workspace. We also show how interactive tasks, like placing a peg in a hole, can be facilitated with electro-tactile feedback from force sensors.

Electro-tactile feedback for tele-operation of a mobile robot
It is well known that haptic feedback can facilitate the tele-operation of a remotely controlled robot by providing the user with intuitive tactile and/or force sensations from the robot's interactions with the environment. However, such mechanical haptic feedback systems can be complex, cumbersome, costly and application specific. This paper presents a novel tele-operation haptic feedback syst...
متن کاملEnhanced Tactile Feedback (Tele-Taction) Using a Multi-Functional Sensory System
The safe and economic exploitation of remote manipulation techniques is dependent on accurate, responsive handling abilities. This usually means the use of tele-operation, however, the construction and control of effective general purpose end-effectors remains complex, and tactile data collection by, and feedbock from these devices is at best primitive. This work studies the development of an a...
متن کاملElectro-tactile Feedback System for a Prosthetic Hand
Without the sense of touch, amputees with prosthetic hands can have difficulty holding and manipulating objects, especially when a task requires some degree of skill and tactile feedback to perform. To equip prosthetic hand users with touch sensing and tactile feedback, researchers have been experimenting with various types of force and/or tactile sensors together with various methods for deliv...
متن کاملInterfacing robotic tactile sensation with human vibrotactile perception for digit recognition
To achieve human like functionality, artificial arms are required to be incorporatedwith the sense of touch that can be achieved by affixing tactile sensors to them. The user operating these artificial arms, for any Human–Computer Interactive task, should be able to perceive the same tactile sensation as is acquired by the tactile sensor fitted artificial arms. This work is an initial step to i...
