| description | Robotic devices with integrated tactile sensors can accurately perceive the contact force, pressure, sliding, and other tactile information, and they have been widely used in various fields, including human–robot interaction, dexterous manipulation, and object recognition. To address the challenges associated with the initial value drift, and to improve the durability and accuracy of the tactile detection for a robotic dexterous hand, in this study, a flexible tactile sensor is designed with high repeatability by introducing a supporting layer for pre-separation. The proposed tactile sensor has a detection range of 0–5 N with a resolution of 0.2 N, and the repeatability error is as relatively small as 1.5%. In addition, the response time of the proposed tactile sensor under loading and unloading conditions are 80 ms and 160 ms, respectively. Moreover, a three-dimensional force decoupling detection method is developed by distributing tactile sensor units on a non-coplanar robotic fingertip. Finally, using a backpropagation neural network, the classification and recognition processes of nine types of objects with different shapes and categories are realized, achieving an accuracy higher than 95%. The results show that the proposed three-dimensional force tactile sensing system could be beneficial for the delicate manipulation and recognition for robotic dexterous hands. |
