چکیده
A walking-assistant robot guided by the intention and power-driven is presented, its purpose is to provide physical support and walking assistance for the elderly to meet their needs of walking autonomy, friendliness, and maintaining the ability of walking and taking care of themselves. Tactile and slip sensor is selected as the human interface to perceive the user’s walking intent, and the sensor is also used to detect the user’s slip trend. And the paper researches the feature representation and extraction method of tactile and slip signal for driving control pattern recognition. An improved classification and identification method combining K-means in clustering and K-nearest neighbor algorithm in classification is proposed. The paper introduces the overall design schemes of tactile and slip drive control system of walking-assistant robot, perception system, motion control system. Finally the feasibility and effectiveness of the entire system are verified by experiment.

The increasing demand for robotic applications in today’s manufacturing environment motivates the scientists towards the design of dexterous end-effectors, which can cope with a wide variety of tasks. The human hand can serve as a model for a robotic hand for prehension, which interacts with the environment with more than twenty-seven degrees of freedom (dofs). The articulation and accommodatio...
متن کاملA Novel Tactile Sensor with Electromagnetic Induction and Its Application on Stick-Slip Interaction Detection
Real-time detection of contact states, such as stick-slip interaction between a robot and an object on its end effector, is crucial for the robot to grasp and manipulate the object steadily. This paper presents a novel tactile sensor based on electromagnetic induction and its application on stick-slip interaction. An equivalent cantilever-beam model of the tactile sensor was built and capable o...
متن کاملInternal representation of slip for a soft finger with vision and tactile sensors
To build an adaptive autonomous robot, it must have a certain number of external sensors to observe the environment. One physical phenomenon is observed as sensor signal flows through these sensors. In this paper, we focus on a “slip” phenomenon and try to build up a network representation of slip of an anthropomorphic robot hand. A robot hand with distributed tactile sensors and a vision senso...
متن کاملThe Stick Insect Antenna as a Biological Paragon for an Actively Moved Tactile Probe for Obstacle Detection
We propose the stick insect antenna as a biological model for the study of the tactile sense and its active use in guiding leg movements. During walking, stick insects perform rhythmic antennal movements which are well-coordinated with leg movements. Antennal contact with an obstacle can lead to rapid adaptation of the ongoing leg movement, e.g. by re-targeting of a swing movement. The typical ...
متن کاملSlip Classification Using Tangential and Torsional Skin Distortions on a Biomimetic Tactile Sensor
I. INTRODUCTION There are two main categories of object slip: linear and rotational. During linear slip, the object maintains its orientation with respect to the local end-effector frame but gradually slides out of the robot fingers. During rotational slip, the center of mass of the object tends to rotate about an axis normal to the grasp surface, although the point of contact with the robot's ...
