使い捨て可能かつ後付けできる水位変動型力センサの開発

―簡易的な感度調整手法の提案―

For tele-operated decommissioning robots, we proposed a retrofittable and disposable force sensor, and developed a linear-type force sensor. This sensor uses a straw and double clip, which converts the received load into water level displacement. This paper proposes adjusting the resolution methods for the force sensor. For the resolution adjustment, the following two factors are significant: (I)contact area between the straw and the double clip, (II)elasticity of the doble clip. Thus, we propose (1) the use of different double clip manufacturer (2) adjusting contact area using disposable chopsticks, and (3) adjusting elasticity by cutting the double clip’s back. Experimental results show that all methods can adjust the resolution.
