The sense of touch is fundamental for a one-to-one mapping between the environment and a robot that physically interacts with the environment. Herein, we describe a tactile fingertip design that can robustly detect interaction forces given data collected from a camera. This design is based on the photoelastic effect observed in silicone matter. Under the force applied to the silicone rubber, owing to the stress-induced birefringence, the light propagating within the silicone rubber is subjected to the angular phase shift, where the latter is proportional to the increase in the image brightness in the camera frames. We present the calibration and test results of the photoelastic sensor design on a bench using a robot arm and with a certified industrial force torque sensor. We also discuss the applications of this sensor design and its potential relationship with human mechano-transduction receptors. We achieved a force sensing range of up to 8 N with a force resolution of around 0.5 N. The photoelastic tactile fingertip is suitable for robot grasping and might lead to further progress in robust tactile sensing. |
