A Simple and Compliant Force Sensing Palm for the MLab Simple Hand

Conference Paper, Proceedings of (ICRA) International Conference on Robotics and Automation, pp. 2367 - 2373, May, 2013

Abstract

Sensing the forces applied to the palm of a robot manipulator requires robust compliant sensors guarded against collision. The force sensing palm for the MLab Simple Hand measures three components of net contact force in a simple robust design using flexure springs and optical position sensing. The hand is calibrated in an automatic process. Measurements are included to compare performance to the theoretical model.
