Internal representation of slip for a soft finger with vision and tactile sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 sensor is built to demonstrate how it acquires the representation of “slip”. At the beginning of leaning, only the vision sensor can sense the slip as the movement of target, but after a while the tactile sensors can sense the slip even it is so small that the vision sensor cannot sense.

Experimental Characterization of a Flexible Thermal Slip Sensor
Tactile sensors are needed for effectively controlling the interaction between a robotic hand and the environment, e.g., during manipulation of objects, or for the tactile exploration of unstructured environments, especially when other sensing modalities, such as vision or audition, become ineffective. In the case of hand prostheses, mainly intended for dexterous manipulation of daily living ob...

Tactile sensing provides critical information, such as force, texture, shape or temperature, in manipulation tasks. In particular, tactile sensors traditionally used in robotics are emphasized in contact force determination for grasping control and object recognition. Nevertheless, slip detection is also crucial to successfully manipulate an object. Several approaches have appeared to detect sl...
متن کاملGelSight: High-Resolution Robot Tactile Sensors for Estimating Geometry and Force
Tactile sensing is an important perception mode for robots, but the existing tactile technologies have multiple limitations. What kind of tactile information robots need, and how to use the information, remain open questions. We believe a soft sensor surface and high-resolution sensing of geometry should be important components of a competent tactile sensor. In this paper, we discuss the develo...

متن کاملTactile texture recognition with a 3-axial force MEMS integrated artificial finger
Recently, several three-axial MEMS-based force sensors have been developed. This kind of force micro sensor is also called tactile sensor in literature for its similarities in size and sensitivity with human mechanoreceptors. Therefore, we believe these three-axial force sensors being able to analyse textures properties while sliding on a surface, as would do a person with his finger. In this p...
