Design Example: Resistive Touchscreen

391
A device engineer plays a crucial role in designing user interfaces for mobile devices. One such interface is the resistive touchscreen, which fundamentally consists of two metallic layers: a flexible upper layer and a rigid lower layer, separated by a narrow gap. The high resistance between these two layers is a key characteristic of this design.
When a user touches the screen, the two layers make contact at a specific point known as the touchpoint. This contact reduces the resistance between...

Tactile and Chemical Senses

339
Tactile senses encompass touch, temperature, and pain, each mediated by specific receptors. Touch receptors detect mechanical energy or pressure against the skin. Sensory fibers from these receptors enter the spinal cord and relay information to the brain stem. Here, most fibers cross over to the opposite side of the brain. The touch information then moves to the thalamus, which projects a map of the body's surface onto the somatosensory areas of the parietal lobes in the cerebral cortex.

Area of Science:

  • Robotics
  • Sensor Technology
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Tactile sensors are crucial for robotic end-effectors, enabling advanced manipulation and object handling.
  • Existing tactile sensors can be complex and costly, limiting their widespread adoption.
  • Measuring multi-axial forces and detecting slip are key challenges in robotic grasping.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose and validate BaroTac, a novel tactile sensor system for robotic applications.
  • To leverage inexpensive, off-the-shelf barometric pressure sensor chips (BPSC) for tactile sensing.
  • To enable accurate three-axis force measurement and reliable slip detection in robotic grippers.

Main Methods:

  • Characterization of single-cell BPSC-based tactile sensors to establish design parameters.
  • Development of a sensing method using a calibration matrix for three-axis force measurement.
  • Implementation of discrete wavelet transform (DWT) for slip detection based on high-frequency vibrations.
  • Fabrication and testing of a multi-cell BPSC-based tactile sensor array.

Main Results:

  • The BaroTac sensor achieved low error rates for three-axis force measurement (0.14% X, 0.18% Y, 0.3% Z).
  • Slip detection was successfully demonstrated within the 75-150 Hz frequency range.
  • The fabricated sensor array showed effective performance in characterizing forces and detecting slip.

Conclusions:

  • BaroTac offers a cost-effective and robust solution for tactile sensing in robotics.
  • The proposed sensor system enhances robotic grasping by providing critical force and slip feedback.
  • Practical application was demonstrated by integrating BaroTac with a commercial robotic gripper for object manipulation.
