Abstract
This paper presents a novel three-axis force sensor
based on optical photo interrupters and integrated with the
robot arm STIFF-FLOP (STIFFness controllable Flexible and
Learnable Manipulator for Surgical Operations) to measure
external interacting forces and torques. The ring-shape
bio-compatible sensor presented here embeds the distributed
actuation and sensing system of the STIFF-FLOP manipulator
and is applicable to the geometry of its structure as well to the
structure of any other similar soft robotic manipulator. Design
and calibration procedures of the device are introduced:
experimental results allow defining a stiffness sensor matrix for
real-time estimation of force and torque components and
confirm the usefulness of the proposed optical sensing approach.
