Abstract
The researchers — who are based at the German Aerospace Center and Technical University of Munich — created a mechatronic design for sensing redundancy, where the number of sensor measurements exceeds the number of possible motions of the robotic arm, and combined it with a momentum-based monitoring method to provide the arm with an intrinsic sense of touch across its surface. Two force-torque sensors, one in the base and one in the wrist, and four torque sensors in the joints provide 16 measurements. The robot could recognize letters and digits traced directly on its structure, and the team also created virtual buttons that could be placed at different locations across the arm and assigned different functions.
