Fast Contact Detection via Fusion of Joint and Inertial Sensors for Parallel Robots in Human-Robot Collaboration. Aran Mohammad, Jan Piosik, Dustin Lehmann, Thomas Seel und Moritz Schappler
Detecting contact quickly is vital for human-robot safety. This study shows how combining encoder data with a single consumer-grade IMU on a parallel robot’s end-effector can estimate external forces in real time. The method detects contact events in as little as 3 milliseconds.
We would like to thank the entire team for their dedicated work on this project. Your collaboration and hard work has played a crucial role in this success.
