Abstract
To achieve a human like grasping by the multi-fingered robot hand, grasping force should be controlled without information of the grasping object such as the weight and the friction coefficient. In this study, we propose a method for detecting the slip of grasping object by force output of the Center of Pressure (CoP) tactile sensor. CoP sensor can measure center position of distributed load and total load which is applied on the surface of the sensor within 1 [ms] . This sensor is arranged on finger of the robot hand, and the effectiveness as slip detecting sensor is confirmed by experiment of slip detection on grasping. Finally, we propose a method for controlling grasping force resist the tangential force added to the grasping object by feedback control system of the CoP sensor force output.
