Safer Human Robot Interaction through Compliance in Design • Compliance via pneumatic actuators • Inertia reduction • Inertia decoupling • Compliance via soft covering • Peak force reduction • Capacitative sensing skin • Research Goal • Investigate these effects on impact forces ->injury
Robot arm Target
Effect of Stiffness Source 6 Hz 30 Hz • Test Conclusions • Mini does not increase peak forces significantly while vastly improving performance • Pressure has little effect on peak forces
Limitations • Fragile • One of kind • Limited travel • Limited end tip velocity (0.5 m/s)
Goals • Does joint stiffness effect collision? • Can skin sensor pick detect collision?
Distal link Torque spring Piece of tape JR3 sensor
Cushion layer shield Sensor strip
Preliminary Results 2 m/s, k = 27.793 N mm/deg 2 m/s, k = 0.395 N mm/deg
JR3 Data 2 m/s, k = 27.793 N mm/deg 2 m/s, k = 0.395 N mm/deg
To do: • Find optimal frequency division • Noise vs response • Improve experimental setup • Ensure configuration • Stiffen target • Find optimal skin thickness
