Abstract

Active-passive robotic sensors adjust their stiffness ad-hoc as is appropriate for a task. In situations where the sensor is to operate in an unpredictable environment, or where the sensor is required to work with high sensitivity over a large stiffness range, it is beneficial for the sensor to maintain a high level of sensitivity over its entire operational range. This paper presents the theoretical model for a pneumatically controlled haptic sensor which maintains optimal sensitivity over a large range of force input values.
