Multifingered Robotic Hands: Contact Experiments using Tactile Sensors
نویسندگان
چکیده
Capacitive tactile sensors are constructed and installed to the ngers of the HKUST hands for measurement of position, force and direction of principle curvature of contact point. The hardware and software for signal processing are designed such that the contact information is sent to the motion control computer in real time. Experiments in rolling and sliding contact motions are then performed for testing the functionality of the tactile sensing system in motion control. The measurement of contact velocities obtained from the sensor is also compared with that calculated from the theoretical contact equations. This paper describes the tactile sensing system and the experimental result in contact motion control.

متن کاملContact Point Identification in Multi-Fingered Grasps Exploiting Kinematic Constraints
Most of the algorithms used in grasp planning, force optimization and control of multifingered hands need information about the points of contact with a grasped object as well as the normal of the surface in the contact point. With no image processing, this information is gained from tactile sensor arrays, multidimensional force/torque sensors or a priori knowledge. This paper presents a method...
