Abstrakt:

Pneumatically driven soft actuators with sensors have been developing rapidly these years. They can perceive external stimulus and be applied to different scenarios. In this study, we present a novel soft robotic finger with sensorized finger pulp based on sealing a flexible fabric piezoresistive film called Velostat into a pre-charged air bag, which can perceive the contact force with an object based on changes in resistance value of the sensor. The soft sensor mimics human finger pulp and deforms passively according to the shape of objects during grasping, so that it can firmly contact with objects and as such improves the gripper’s grasping stability. Moreover, based on force feedback, the actuator can reduce or increase the input pressure to hold the object and control the contact force precisely. The sensor exhibits a sensitivity of up to 0.328 kPa−1 and can measure pressures ranging from 0 to over 10 kPa. The sensor’s measurement range and sensitivity can be pre-adjusted by regulating the pre-charged pressure during fabrication for different grasping tasks. The response/recovery time of the sensor is 80/60 ms on average. Experiments show that the finger with sensorized pulp can be applied for object softness and size detection, object transport minitoring as well as force control grasping. The proposed soft robotic finger has potential for applications in scenarios that require safe contact and closed-loop control.
