Abstract

The invention discloses a flexibility touch sensor for flexible finger tips of a humanoid robot, which relates to a touch sensor for flexible finger tips of a humanoid robot and aims at solving the problems that a photoelectric touch sensor can not manufacture a touch sensor with overall flexibility; a piezoresistive touch sensor either lacks overall flexibility or has high cost and poor impact resistance. A flexible protective layer and a flexible piezoresistive layer are bonded together; the upper surface and the lower surface of an underlay are carved with a plurality of electrode pairs and a plurality of voltage input and output pins; E-type voltage output electrodes of each E-type voltage output electrode group are connected in parallel and connected with corresponding voltage output pins; gate-type voltage input electrodes in each gate-type voltage input electrode group are connected in parallel and connected with corresponding voltage input pins; a pressure-sensitive conducting rubber body is arranged on the upper surface of the underlay; and the lateral surface of the pressure-sensitive conducting rubber body is coated with bonding glue and bonded with the flexible underlay. The touch sensor has overall flexibility, impact resistance and low processing cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a tactile sensor for dexterous fingertips of a humanoid robot. Background technique [0002] There are several ways to classify tactile sensors. Such as classification by working principle, classification by application field, classification by structure and classification by manufacturing process, etc. Among them, according to the working principle, it can be divided into: piezoresistive, capacitive, piezoelectric, photoelectric, electromagnetic, ultrasonic sensing and resistance strain, etc. In the field of robotic dexterous hands, most of the applied tactile sensors are piezoresistive and photoelectric. Among them, the photoelectric tactile sensor cannot be made into a tactile sensor with overall flexibility; most of the piezoresistive compliant tactile sensors only have a compliant appearance, but lack overall flexibility. However, piezoresistive tactile sensors with overall flexibility often limit their promotion in app...
