Tactile Force Control Feedback in a Parallel Jaw Gripper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Carrying out an autonomous object prehension task, needs some active interaction with the environment, which only could be done with sensory integration on the robot tools. A study of the contact force control performed with tactile feedback in a low cost servo-controlled parallel jaw gripper is presented in this article. This gripper integrates matricial tactile sensors and proximity sensors. Considering the nonlinear nature of the control system, hybrid control strategies were used, inter-relating classical digital control strategies with heuristic rules and logic. Two control algorithms were studied, and experimentally validated in a force-compliant mechanical system: hybrid proportional controller; hybrid proportional integral and derivative controller.

Object Exploration Using a Parallel Jaw Gripper
In this paper we present a system for tactile object exploration. The system is built using a gripper with two parallel fingers, each equipped with a tactile array and a force/torque sensor. We have designed and implemented a set of exploratory procedures for acquiring the following properties: weight, shape, texture, and hardness. The system is successful at extracting these properties from a ...

متن کاملA novel sensor for dynamic tactile information
We present a novel tactile sensor, which is useful for dextrous grasping with a simple robot gripper. The novel part consists of an array of capacitive sensors, which couple to the object by means of little brushes of fibers. These sensor elements are very sensitive (with a threshold of about 5 mN) but robust enough not to be damaged during grasping. They yield two types of dynamical tactile in...

This paper presents the designing, simulation, fabrication and control of a gripper actuated by Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) wire. The presented gripper has the advantage of the small linear displacement of the slider connected to the SMA wire, and can convert the linear displacement into angular movement of the gripper fingers. In this study, design and simulation processes have been done by two p...

The tactile array sensor is a key component of the multi-sensory integration work at the General Robotics and Active Sensory Perception Laboratory (GRASP Lab) at the University of Pennsylvania. In our work, tactile sensors provide information about the nature of the contact between an actuated tool, such as a robotic gripper, and its physical domain. This information is used for feedback contro...
