- 用远程电液致动器+滑轮放大,实现轻薄人形手结构
- 仅凭电流监测就完成实时抓握检测与闭环控制
- 可安全抓捏纸气球等易碎物,适合人机交互场景
在非结构化环境中进行机器人操作需要兼具运动灵活性与物理柔顺性的末端执行器。传统刚性手依赖复杂外部传感器实现安全交互,而电液致动器则可通过类肌肉的柔顺性与自感知能力提供新路径。本文提出一种完全由远端Peano-HASEL致动器驱动的仿生肌骨骼机械手,专为安全操作优化。通过将致动器置于前臂,使抓握部位远离电气风险,同时保持纤细的人形外观。针对软致动器固有的有限线性收缩问题,采用1:2滑轮传动机构实现肌腱位移的机械放大。系统强调柔顺交互而非高负载能力,利用致动器固有的力限特性实现内在安全性。该物理安全性结合了HASEL致动器的自感知能力:仅通过监测工作电流,即可实现实时抓握识别与闭环接触感知控制,无需外部力传感器或编码器。实验验证了系统在标准抓握类型上的灵巧性,并成功非破坏性抓握了纸气球等脆弱物体。这些成果推动了简化、本质柔顺的软体机器人操作发展。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Robotic manipulation in unstructured environments requires end-effectors that combine kinematic dexterity with physical compliance. While traditional rigid hands rely on complex external sensors for safe interaction, electrohydraulic actuators offer a promising alternative by combining muscle-like compliance with self-sensing capability. This paper presents the design, control, and evaluation of a musculoskeletal robotic hand architecture powered entirely by remote Peano-HASEL actuators, optimized for safe manipulation. By relocating the actuators to the forearm, we isolate the grasping interface from electrical hazards while maintaining a slim, human-like profile. To address the inherently limited linear contraction of these soft actuators, we integrate a 1:2 pulley routing mechanism that mechanically amplifies tendon displacement. The resulting system prioritizes compliant interaction over high payload capacity, leveraging the intrinsic force-limiting characteristics of the actuators to provide inherent safety. This physical safety is augmented by the self-sensing nature of the HASEL actuators: by monitoring the operating current alone, we achieve real-time grasp detection and closed-loop contact-aware control without external force transducers or encoders. Experimental results demonstrate the system's dexterity and safety through the execution of grasp types from standard taxonomies and the non-destructive grasping of highly fragile objects such as a paper balloon. These findings represent a step toward simplified, inherently compliant soft robotic manipulation.
