肌骨骼人形机器人通常依赖肌肉感知估算本体感觉,而关节周围皮肤形变的作用尚未充分探索。生物系统中,分布于软组织的机械感受器可补充肌肉反馈,支持可靠的关节状态估计。本研究设计了一种具有类组织分层结构的仿生关节覆盖皮肤,集成压力与拉伸敏感元件。该皮肤应用于肌骨骼人形机器人Musashi-W,评估其独立本体感觉能力及与肌肉感知的融合效果。实验表明,该皮肤独立使用时关节角度估计平均误差约为3度;与肌肉感知融合后进一步提升精度。由于其关节覆盖结构,可机械缓解外部干扰对肌肉的影响;多模态融合亦有助于识别仅靠肌肉感知难以解析的外部刺激。本工作提出一种仿生关节覆盖皮肤的设计方法,证实此类组织结构皮肤可有效拓展肌骨骼人形机器人的本体感知系统。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Proprioception in musculoskeletal humanoids is typically estimated primarily from muscle sensing, while the role of cutaneous deformation around joints remains insufficiently explored. In biological systems, mechanoreceptors distributed within soft tissue complement muscle feedback and support reliable joint state estimation. This study presents the design of a biomimetic joint-covering skin with a tissue-like layered structure that integrates pressure- and stretch-sensitive elements within the joint-covering tissue. The proposed skin is implemented on the musculoskeletal humanoid Musashi-W, and its independent proprioceptive capability as well as its integration with muscle sensing are evaluated. Experimental results show that the proposed skin alone achieves joint angle estimation with an average error of approximately 3 degrees. Furthermore, integration with muscle sensing improves estimation accuracy. Owing to its joint-covering structure, the skin may mechanically mitigate the influence of external disturbances on the muscles, and the integration of multiple modalities suggests the possibility of contributing to the identification of external stimuli that are difficult to interpret using muscle sensing alone. This work presents a design methodology for biomimetic joint-covering skin and demonstrates that such tissue-structured skin can serve as an effective approach for extending proprioceptive systems in musculoskeletal humanoids.
