Conveying Surroundings Information of a Robot End-Effector by Adjusting Controller Button Stiffness

  • 用虚拟扩展末端体积预测物体接近,计算重叠区域。
  • 重叠越大按钮越硬,反馈与速度、意图无关,减少碰撞风险。
  • 仅靠手柄硬件实现,低功耗易部署,适合远程操控场景。

本研究针对遥操作中因感知反馈不足和视觉遮挡导致的操作灵巧性下降问题,提出一种创新方法:利用商用DualSense手柄的自适应扳机,通过调节按钮刚度来提供触觉反馈。系统将机器人末端执行器的有效体积虚拟扩展,基于其与周围物体的重叠程度动态调整刚度,实现无需预设行为、不受用户意图或机器人速度影响的实时空间感知提示。该方法采用几何简化策略,显著降低硬件需求与计算复杂度,在仿真测试中验证了其可有效降低碰撞风险、提升操作性能,即使在存在真实世界不确定性与通信延迟的情况下,也能提供直观、精确且安全的遥操作体验。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

This study addresses the challenge of low dexterity in teleoperation tasks caused by limited sensory feedback and visual occlusion. We propose a novel approach that integrates haptic feedback into teleoperation using the adaptive triggers of a commercially available DualSense controller. By adjusting button stiffness based on the proximity of objects to the robot's end effector, the system provides intuitive, real-time feedback to the operator. To achieve this, the effective volume of the end effector is virtually expanded, allowing the system to predict interactions by calculating overlap with nearby objects. This predictive capability is independent of the user's intent or the robot's speed, enhancing the operator's situational awareness without requiring complex pre-programmed behaviors. The stiffness of the adaptive triggers is adjusted in proportion to this overlapping volume, effectively conveying spatial proximity and movement cues through an "one degree of freedom" haptic feedback mechanism. Compared to existing solutions, this method reduces hardware requirements and computational complexity by using a geometric simplification approach, enabling efficient operation with minimal processing demands. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed system reduces collision risk and improves user performance, offering an intuitive, precise, and safe teleoperation experience despite real-world uncertainties and communication delays.
