Detailed Description
It is an object of the present invention to provide a method of implementing a high precision haptic sensing system on a soft body arm.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 6, a soft-body arm based overlapped optical signal touch sensing system comprises a soft-body arm actuator 1, a flexible circuit layer 2, a light emitting diode 3, an optical sensor 4, an elastic light reflecting layer 5, a conducting wire 6, a pressure sensor 7 and an elastic wire 8. The soft arm actuating mechanism 1 is a pneumatic telescopic or bending soft actuator and is cylindrical, the inner end surface is a circular plane, and the outer end part is spherical. The inner end of the soft arm actuating mechanism 1 is provided with a ventilation interface. The ventilation interface is led out to an external air pressure source through a ventilation pipe 1-1. When the external air pressure source starts to be pressurized, the soft arm actuating mechanism 1 is extended and lengthened. The inner end of the flexible arm actuator 1 is fixed to the pressure sensor 7. The pressure sensor 7 can measure a pressure value for the pressure sensor, and is integrally in a round table shape. The axis of the pressure sensor 7 is coincident with the axis of the inner end of the soft-arm actuator 1. The signal of the pressure sensor 7 is transmitted to a computer terminal.
The shapes of the soft body arm actuating mechanism 1, the flexible circuit layer 2 and the elastic light reflecting layer 5 correspond to each other. The flexible circuit layer 2 is sleeved outside the soft arm actuator 1. The elastic light reflecting layer 5 is sleeved outside the flexible circuit layer 2. A gap is left between the elastic light reflecting layer 5 and the flexible circuit layer 2. The flexible circuit layer 2 and the elastic light reflecting layer 5 both have elasticity and can be deformed along with the extension and contraction of the soft arm actuating mechanism 1. The flexible circuit layer 2 is a thin wall made of a flexible material, and a gap is reserved between the thin wall and the soft arm executing mechanism 1.
As shown in fig. 1, 2 and 3, the flexible circuit layer 2 has 2n wire holes 2-2 at different positions on its outer side wall. Four positioning holes 2-1 are uniformly arranged around each wire guide hole 2-2, and n is more than or equal to 5. Wherein, the outer sides of the n wire holes are provided with light emitting diodes 3. And the outer sides of the other n wire holes are provided with optical sensors 4. The four corners of the light emitting diode 3 or the light sensor 4 are connected with the corresponding four positioning holes 2-1 through the elastic wires 8 respectively. The outer end of the elastic wire 8 penetrates through the corresponding positioning hole 2-1 and is provided with a spherical ball joint 8-1. The diameter of the ball joint 8-1 is larger than that of the positioning hole 2-1. The ball joint 8-1 is clamped at the inner side of the positioning hole 2-1, so that the limiting of the elastic rope 8 is realized. Four elastic cords 8 fix the corresponding light emitting diodes 3 or light sensors 4 on the outer side of the flexible circuit layer 2. The elastic wire 8 is a flexible thin wire with good elastic performance, and when the flexible circuit layer 2 deforms along with the soft arm executing mechanism 1, the light-emitting diode 3 and the optical sensor 4 are ensured to be continuously attached to the outer side of the flexible circuit layer 2 through the stretching of the elastic wire 8. The power supply wires and the signal wires of the light emitting diode 3 and the light sensor 4 are led out between the flexible circuit layer and the soft arm actuating mechanism 1 through corresponding wire holes and are led out from the inner end of the flexible circuit layer 2. The light emitting diode 3 is used to emit a light signal. The optical sensor 4 is used for receiving the optical signal reflected by the elastic light reflecting layer 5, and accordingly, the stress deformation condition of the elastic light reflecting layer 5 is judged, and the effect of simulating touch is achieved.
As shown in fig. 3 and 4, the elastic light reflection layer 5 is made of elastic material which can be stretched. The inner wall of the elastic light reflection layer 5 can reflect light wave signals, and the outer wall is light-tight. Any single light sensor 4 can receive the light signals transmitted by all the light emitting diodes 3 to form a superposed light signal. The light signal received by the single light sensor 4 to the single light emitting diode 3 is a signal unit, so that n is present2A signal unit. In the engineering, the light emitting diodes 3 and the optical sensors 4 are required to be arranged at a higher density at a position where the sensor sensitivity is high.
As shown in fig. 5, the light emitting diodes uniformly emit light of a white spectrum when an external object is not in contact with the sensor. When an object contacts the sensor, light propagation in the area near the contact point is affected due to the depression of the elastic light-reflecting layer at the contact position. Therefore, the light quantity of the superimposed optical signal of the same spectrum is influenced to change. At this time, the change in the light quantity of the superimposed optical signal of the same spectrum is fed back to the computer terminal, and the computer terminal calculates an approximate area of the contact point. The computer terminal controls the light emitting diodes in the area to emit light sources of different spectra, and then calculates a more accurate contact point position using the overlapping light signals of different spectra.
All the light emitting diodes 3 and the light sensors 4 are connected to the computer terminal by corresponding wires 6. The change in the light signal received by each light sensor 4 is analyzed by a computer. The shape of the elastic light reflecting layer 5 is the shape of the soft arm actuator 1 after being fully pressurized, and the size of each position of the elastic light reflecting layer 5 is larger than that of each position of the soft arm actuator after being fully pressurized.
The optical signal detected by each photosensor has a data point, and thus has n2A data point, n2Of the data points, data points that did not change before and after contact were discarded without further processing, and then m useful data points remained. And processing the data by using a feedforward neural network structure. The neural network architecture is customized to support the application of the system. Followed by a neural network for multi-touch detection. For localization and force prediction, we used a five-layer hidden layer multitasking neural network. Each hidden layer uses batch normalization and a ReLU activation function. The first three hidden layers are shared between the two tasks. Each output then has two separate hidden layers. We use the mean square error as a loss function. The neural network was trained in 400 stages under an ADAM optimizer with a batch size of 128, an initial learning rate of 0.001, and dropped to 0.0001 after 200 stages. For location prediction, the training data set is filtered to use only positive depths.
As shown in fig. 5, the specific method of the operation mode of the sensing system is as follows:
step one, an external air pressure source is used for pressurizing the soft arm actuating mechanism 1, and the soft arm actuating mechanism 1 extends and deforms to reach a required shape. At this time, the light emitting diode 3 and the photosensor 4 fixed to the outer wall of the flexible circuit layer 2 are each fixed by four elastic wires 8, and the elastic wires 8 are stretched. The positions of the light emitting diodes 3 and the light sensors 4 relative to the flexible circuit layer 2 do not change. The leads 6 for connecting the electronic components are left with a sufficient length.
And step two, electrifying the optical sensors 4, the light-emitting diodes 3 and the pressure sensors 7, and transmitting signals to the computer terminal by all the optical sensors 4. The change in the light signal received by each light sensor 4 is analyzed by a computer. At the same time the signal of the pressure sensor 7 is also transmitted to the computer terminal. A haptic cruise mode of operation is entered. In the cruise working mode, when the light emitting diodes do not contact with the sensor, the light sources are unified into a light source with a white spectrum.
And step three, when an external object touches the elastic light reflecting layer 5, the elastic light reflecting layer 5 changes in the touch area and is recessed inwards. The shape change of the elastic light reflecting layer 5 causes the conduction of the optical signal inside the elastic light reflecting layer to change, thereby affecting a part of the optical sensor 4 to receive the optical signal to generate corresponding change. At this time, the change of the light quantity of the overlapped light signals with the same spectrum is fed back to the computer terminal; the computer terminal takes the optical sensor 4 with the largest change in light intensity detected by each optical sensor 4 as a pseudo center through calculation. And taking a range with a preset size taking the suspected center as a central point as a suspected area. Further, the suspected area may also be determined from a trained neural network.
At the moment, the computer terminal controls each light-emitting diode in the suspected area to respectively emit light rays with different spectrums; the contact point position is calculated according to the intensity of the optical signals of different spectra received by each optical sensor 4. The contact point position calculation is implemented by a trained neural network. At the same time, the pressure sensor 7 receives a force signal. But the force signal is not the amount of force applied to the soft arm by an external contact. The computer terminal calculates the magnitude of the external contact applied force according to the mechanics principle and the obtained contact point position and the force signal of the pressure sensor 7.
