A Novel Tactile Device for Safe Human-Robot Interaction in Industrial Scenarios
Description
In this paper we present a novel device based on
tactile sensing, designed to enable physical interaction between
an industrial robot and its operator. Capacitive tactile sensing
technology has been embodied in a cylinder-shaped handle, in
order to exploit physical interaction information to safely enable
human-robot cooperative tasks. The device provides interaction
force by measuring exerted pressure, as well as a semantic
detection of the human hand. We use the latter feature in order
to detect voluntary human-robot interaction, identified when the
user is firmly grasping the device with one hand. A prototype
has been implemented using 3D printing technology its operation
assessment has been performed with bench tests.
