متن کاملDesign, Control and Evaluation of a Whole-Sensitive Robot Arm for Physical Human-Robot Interaction
The paper focuses on design and control of a new anthropomorphic robot arm enabling the torque measurement in each joint to ensure safety while performing tasks of physical interaction with human and environment. When the contact of the robot arm with an object occurs, local admittance algorithm provides active compliance of corresponding robot arm joint. Thus, the whole structure of the manipu...
متن کاملFlexible Foot/Ankle Based on PKM with Force/Torque Sensor for Humanoid Robot
This paper describes the development of a novel humanoid robot foot/ankle based on an orientation Parallel Kinematic Mechanism for intelligent and flexible control. With three identical Universal-Prismatic-Spherical prismatic-actuated limbs and a central Universal-Revolute passive limb, the PKM can perform three degrees of freedom rotation motions. In order to enable the humanoid robot safely t...
متن کاملContact Force and Joint Torque Estimation Using Skin
In this paper, we present algorithms to estimate external contact forces and joint torques using only skin, i.e. distributed tactile sensors. To deal with gaps between the tactile sensors (taxels), we use interpolation techniques. The application of these interpolation techniques allows us to estimate contact forces and joint torques without the need for expensive force-torque sensors. Validati...
متن کاملAnalysis on Torques of Shoulder and Elbow Joints of Humanoid Robot Arm for Lifting Tasks
This paper analyses the torque characteristics of the shoulder and elbow joints of a humanoid robot arm that is useful for an object lifting and transferring task instead of human beings. For the purpose, some typical human lifting behaviors are considered, and various simulations for lifting and transferring an object have been performed by employing a humanoid robot arm having a simple config...
