  • thimblesense an individual digit wearable tactile sensor for experimental grasp studies
    International Conference on Robotics and Automation, 2014
    Co-Authors: Edoardo Battaglia, Marco Santello, Giorgio Grioli, Maria Graziella Catalano, Antonio Bicchi
    Abstract:

    Measuring contact forces, applied by a hand to a grasped object, is a necessary step to understand the misteries that still hide in the unparalleled human grasping ability. Nevertheless, simultanous collection of information about the position of contacts, and about the magnitude and direction of forces, is still an elusive task when it comes to the reduced dimension of hands. In this paper we introduce a wearable device that faces this problem. It can be used to measure generalized forces during grasping. By assembling a pair of supports around a commercial 6 axis force/torque sensor, we obtain a thimble that can be easily positioned on fingertips. The device is used in conjunction with an active marker based motion capture system to simultaneously obtain absolute position and orientation of the thimbles, without needing for any assumptions on the kinematics of the hand. Finally, use of the contact centroid algorithm, introduced in [1], allows to determine position of the contact points during grasping. Desing and implementation of the device are shown, as well as some preliminary experimental validation.

  • HAPTICS - [D92] ThimbleSense: A new wearable tactile device for human and robotic fingers
    2014 IEEE Haptics Symposium (HAPTICS), 2014
    Co-Authors: Edoardo Battaglia, Marco Santello, Giorgio Grioli, Maria Graziella Catalano, Alessandro Serio, Matteo Bianchi, Antonio Bicchi
    Abstract:

    Summary form only given. In this demo we present a wearable device that enables to simultaneously collect information about the position of contacts and the magnitude and direction of contact forces applied by a hand to a grasped object. Such a device consists of a thimble that can be easily positioned on both human and robotic fingertips: it is endowed with a 6 axis force/torque sensor, while its absolute position and orientation can be recovered via a marker-based motion capture system, without needing for any assumption on the hand kinematics. This device can be profitably used for studying human and robotic hand behaviour in grasping tasks and haptic exploration.
