Abstract
A novel optical-based fingertip force sensor, which
is integrated in a bio-mimetic finger for robotic and prosthetic manipulation is presented. This is used to obtain tactile information during grasping and manipulation of objects.
Unlike most devices the proposed force sensor is free of
any electrical and metal components and as such is immune to electromagnetic fields. The sensor is simple and very compact, has extremely low power consumption and noise levels and requires no additional hardware. It is based on a cantilever design combined with fiber optics and is integrated on the distal phalange of a robotic finger.
The unique design of this sensor makes it ideally suited
for use in messy or harsh environments that may be prone to electromagnetic fields, granular or liquid intrusion, may include combustible gasses or be subject to radiation
