Slip displacement sensors for intelligent robots: Solutions and models

Abstract

This paper discusses the design of modern tactile sensor systems for intelligent and adaptive robots. It provides information on three approaches for using slip displacement signals (for correction of claiming force, for identification of manipulated object mass and for correction of robot control algorithm). The study presents the analysis of different methods for slip displacement signals detection, as well as new sensors schemes, mathematical models and correction methods. Special attention is paid to investigations of developed by authors sensors with the capacity, magnetic sensitive elements and with automatic adjustment of claiming force.
