Abstract

Many robotic hands currently rely on extremely dexterous robotic fingers and a thumb joint to envelop themselves around an object. Few hands focus on the palm even though human hands greatly benefit from their central fold and soft surface. As such, we develop a novel structurally compliant soft palm, which enables more surface area contact for the objects that are pressed into it. Moreover, this design, along with the development of a new low-cost, flexible illumination system, is able to incorporate a high-resolution tactile sensing system inspired by the GelSight sensors. Concurrently, we design RObotic Modular Endoskeleton Optical (ROMEO) fingers, which are underactuated two-segment soft fingers that are able to house the new illumination system, and we integrate them into these various palm configurations. The resulting robotic hand is slightly bigger than a baseball and represents one of the first soft robotic hands with actuated fingers and a passively compliant palm, all of which have high-resolution tactile sensing. This design also potentially helps researchers discover and explore more soft-rigid tactile robotic hand designs with greater capabilities in the future.

目前,许多机器人手依赖于极其灵巧的机器人手指和拇指关节来环绕物体。尽管人类手在中央折叠和柔软表面方面受益很大,但很少有手关注手掌。因此,我们开发了一种新型的结构 compliant 的软手掌,这使得贴合在一起的物体具有更多的接触面积。此外,这款设计以及开发低成本、柔韧的照明系统,能够将类似于GelSight传感器的精确触觉感应系统集成其中。同时,我们设计了一种 Robotic Modular Endoskeleton Optical (ROMEO) 手指,这是一种两个可弯曲的软手指,能够容纳新的照明系统,并将它们集成到各种手掌配置中。 resulting robotic hand 比棒球略大,是第一款具有激活手指和被动顺应手掌的软机器人手之一,所有这些都具有高分辨率的手感。这种设计还有可能帮助研究人员发现和探索更多柔软、刚性的触觉机器人手设计,具有更大的潜力。补充视频请点击这里:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=
