用触觉和本体感知重建工具尖端接触轨迹,让机器人精准感知远端操作
Geometric Reconstruction of Extrinsic Contact Trajectories using Tactile Sensing and Proprioception for Tool Manipulation

- 基于单点接触假设,结合触觉与本体感知推断工具尖端位置
- 51次实验中轨迹均方根误差仅8.59毫米,形状误差5.96毫米
- 适合多工具、多姿态下的远程接触感知任务
触觉传感可帮助机器人感知抓取处的丰富接触信息,支持物体识别、手内位姿估计和滑动检测。然而在许多工具操作任务中,决定任务成败的交互发生在远离触觉传感器的工具尖端,且接触点可能移动,导致直接感知困难。本文提出一种利用触觉与本体感知重建工具尖端外在接触轨迹的方法。将轨迹重建建模为单点接触假设下的几何推理问题:先通过校准段估算全局接触位置,再通过连续接触下触觉标记的相对运动组合重建完整轨迹。在n=51次实验中,涵盖多种轨迹、工具、腕部姿态和抓握配置,该方法在世界坐标系中实现8.59 ± 2.41毫米的轨迹均方根误差(RMSE),形状误差为5.96 ± 1.16毫米,运行频率达14.00 ± 4.11 Hz。结果表明,仅凭抓握级触觉信息即可稳定恢复工具尖端的外部轨迹几何,且其形状在不同工具、腕部姿态和抓握配置下保持一致。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Tactile sensing enables robots to perceive rich contact information at the grasp, supporting tasks such as object recognition, in-hand pose estimation, and slip detection. However, in many tool-mediated manipulation tasks, the interaction that determines task success occurs at the tool tip, away from the tactile sensor, making direct sensing of tool-environment contact difficult, particularly when the contact moves during interaction. In this work, we reconstruct the trajectory of extrinsic tool-tip contact using tactile sensing and robot proprioception. We formulate tool-tip trajectory reconstruction as a geometric inference problem under a single-point contact assumption. Our method first estimates the global tool-tip contact location from a calibration segment designed to approximate fixed-point behavior, and then reconstructs the full trajectory by composing relative tool motion estimated from tactile marker observations under continuous contact. Across n=51 trials with multiple trajectories, tools, wrist poses, and grasp configurations, the proposed pipeline achieves a trajectory RMSE of 8.59 +/- 2.41 mm in the world frame and a shape RMSE of 5.96 +/- 1.16 mm, while operating online at 14.00 +/- 4.11 Hz. Overall, the results show that extrinsic tool-tip trajectory geometry can be recovered consistently from grasp-level tactile sensing, with trajectory shape remaining stable across variations in tools, wrist poses, and grasp configurations.
