Force Estimation and Slip Detection for Grip Control using a Biomimetic Tactile Sensor
نویسندگان
چکیده
We introduce and evaluate contact-based techniques to estimate tactile properties and detect manipulation events using a biomimetic tactile sensor. In particular, we estimate finger forces, and detect and classify slip events. In addition, we present a grip force controller that uses the estimation results to gently pick up objects of various weights and texture. The estimation techniques and the grip controller are experimentally evaluated on a robotic system consisting of Barrett arms and hands. Our results indicate that we are able to accurately estimate forces acting in all directions, detect the incipient slip, and classify slip with over 80% success rate.

Slip Detection and Classification for Grip Control using Multiple Sensory Modalities on a Biomimetic Tactile Sensor
Achieving human-level performance in dexterous grasping tasks will likely require richer tactile sensing than is currently available [1]. Recently, biomimetic tactile sensors, designed to provide more humanlike capabilities, have been developed. These new sensors provide an opportunity to significantly improve the robustness of robotic manipulation. In order to take full advantage of the inform...

متن کاملMeasurement of Slip, Force and Deformation Using Hybrid Tactile Sensor System for Robot Hand Gripping an Object
A hybrid tactile sensor system is proposed for a robot hand to hold and grip an object adaptively as the sensor system measures the slip of an object, the gripping force, and the deformation of its silicon rubber sensor element. A hybrid tactile sensor system consists of a Carbon Micro‐Coil (CMC) touch sensor and a force sensor. The CMC sensor element is made of silicon...
متن کاملCan Modular Finger Control for In-Hand Object Stabilization be accomplished by Independent Tactile Feedback Control Laws?
Currently grip control during in-hand manipulation is usually modeled as part of a monolithic task, yielding complex controllers based on force control specialized for their situations. Such non-modular and specialized control approaches render the generalization of these controllers to new in-hand manipulation tasks difficult. Clearly, a grip control approach that generalizes well between seve...
