| Research Abstract |
Recognition of an object using tactile sensing plays an important role in the field of robotics. In this project, we improved the quartz resonator force sensor which is insensitive to noise and has fast response. A quartz resonator force sensor was applied to a finger used for grasping an object. Then a multifunctional quartz resonator tactile sensor which could detect a contact force and a contact position separately was developed. Various characteristics of objects were recognized using the finger. The finger is for use in grasp control and recognition of characteristics of an object. The study of recognizing an object was put into practice using the fingers with quartz resonator force sensor as follows.
(2004)
A quartz resonator force sensor was installed into a robot finger. And attempts were made to measure dynamically mechanical impedance of various objects using the finger during the process of grasping. The algorithm for the system of measurement was constructed.
(2005)
Rigidity of various objects was measured using the finger by use of Hertz's contact theory during the process of grasping. An infrared sensor was developed for investigating the effects of an incident infrared ray on the quartz resonator force sensor.
(2006)
Viscosity of various objects was measured using the finger with quartz resonator force sensor during the process of grasping. Young's modulus, mechanical impedance and viscosity of various samples were measured during the grasping process.
