Performance analysis of a tactile sensor

چکیده
This paper discusses the design of a contact sensor for use with the Utah-MIT dexterous hand [Jacobsen, et al. 19841. The sensor utilizes an 8 x 8 array of capacitive cells. This paper extends the work presented in Siegel and Garabieta [1986], and the earlier work of Boie [1984]; a more detailed design analysis, modifications to the construction process, and better performance results, are shown.

متن کاملAn approach to optimise the critical sensor locations in one-dimensional novel distributive tactile surface to maximise performance
The distributive approach to tactile sensing is a novel approach. The method relies on the distributed deformation of the surface in response to the applied load to a few sensing points within the surface area. The description of the contacting load is then interpreted into meaningful descriptors typically by using a neural network or fuzzy rules. The method has been shown to interpret descript...
