  • 采用三层电路板与硅胶介电层,通过中心钢针位移感知五维力/力矩。
  • 实测平均误差0.23牛(力)和2.5毫牛·米(力矩),拟合度高于0.97。
  • 适用于微操作场景,如抓取芯片、拔毛、撕膜,能识别滑移与失败事件。

我们提出PinFT,一种微型五轴电容式力/力矩传感器,可直接集成于镊子类工具的尖端。该传感器采用紧凑的三层电路板结构,配合分段镀通孔电极与硅胶弹性体介电层,通过中央直径2毫米的不锈钢针的位移实现五自由度力与力矩感知(F_x, F_y, F_z, T_x, T_y)。所制原型经高阶多项式映射校准,力测量平均绝对误差约为0.23牛,力矩误差为2.5毫牛·米,各轴决定系数(R²)均超过0.97。为验证实用性,将配备双侧PinFT传感器的3D打印镊子安装于平行夹持器上,评估了三项典型微操作任务:抓取亚毫米级SMD电容、从硅胶基底上拔出模拟毛发、撕裂柔性硅胶样品。在所有任务中,单侧力感知均可靠捕捉到区分成功与失败操作(如滑移、物体弹出)的特征力信号,基于内部握力与净交互力的梯度特征实现。结果表明,直接的指尖级力感知使标准平行夹持器可监测并解析手持镊子执行的精细操作。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

We present PinFT, a miniature five-axis capacitive force/torque sensor designed for direct tip-level integration into tweezer-like tools. The sensor employs a compact three-PCB stack with segmented plated through-hole electrodes and a silicone elastomer dielectric, enabling five-degree-of-freedom force and torque sensing ($F_x$, $F_y$, $F_z$, $T_x$, $T_y$) through displacement of a central 2\,mm-diameter stainless steel pin. The fabricated prototype was calibrated using a higher-order polynomial mapping, yielding mean absolute errors of approximately 0.23\,N for forces and 2.5\,mN$\cdot$m for torques, with coefficients of determination ($R^2$) exceeding 0.97 across all axes. To demonstrate practical utility, a 3D-printed tweezer integrating PinFT sensors at both tips was mounted on a parallel-jaw gripper and evaluated across three representative manipulation tasks: grasping a sub-millimeter SMD capacitor, pulling a simulated hair from a silicone substrate, and tearing a compliant silicone specimen. In all cases, per-tip force sensing reliably captured characteristic force signatures that distinguish successful manipulation from failure events -- including slip and object ejection -- using gradient-based features derived from internal grasp force and net interaction force. These results demonstrate that direct, per-tip force sensing enables standard parallel-jaw grippers to monitor and interpret fine manipulation tasks performed through a handheld tweezer.
