SENSOR DEVICE AND ROBOTIC APPARATUS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240300093 titled 'SENSOR DEVICE AND ROBOTIC APPARATUS
The sensor device described in the patent application includes two pressure distribution sensors, each in contact with a different support.
- The first sensor is activated when an object is gripped by both supports in a placed state, setting a first center position for pressure detection.
- The second sensor is activated when the object is gripped and lifted by the supports, setting a second center position for pressure detection.
- The shift amounts of the two sensors are different, calculated as the difference between the first and second center positions.
Potential Applications: - This technology can be used in robotic grippers to improve object manipulation and handling. - It can also be applied in prosthetic limbs to enhance grip strength and control.
Problems Solved: - Provides precise pressure distribution detection for better object manipulation. - Allows for more accurate and efficient gripping of objects in various scenarios.
Benefits: - Improved accuracy and control in gripping objects. - Enhanced safety and efficiency in handling delicate items.
Commercial Applications: Title: Advanced Sensor Technology for Robotic Grippers and Prosthetic Limbs This technology can revolutionize the robotics industry by enhancing the capabilities of robotic grippers for various applications. It can also significantly improve the functionality of prosthetic limbs, providing users with better grip control and dexterity.
Questions about the Technology: 1. How does this sensor device improve object manipulation in robotic applications? 2. What are the potential benefits of using this technology in prosthetic limbs?
Frequently Updated Research: Stay updated on the latest advancements in sensor technology for robotic applications and prosthetic devices to ensure optimal performance and functionality.
Original Abstract Submitted
a sensor device according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a first pressure distribution sensor disposed in contact with a first support, and a second pressure distribution sensor disposed in contact with a second support. a center position of a pressure distribution to be detected due to gripping of an object-to-be-gripped based on when the object-to-be-gripped in a placed state is gripped by the first support and the second support is set to a first center position. in addition, a center position of a pressure distribution to be detected due to gripping of the object-to-be-gripped based on when the object-to-be-gripped is gripped and lifted by the first support and the second support is set to a second center position. in this case, respective shift amounts of the first pressure distribution sensor and second pressure distribution sensor are different from each other. each of the shift amounts is a difference between the first center position and the second center position.
