Abstract

The paper presents the proposed sensorless force estimator design for pneumatic robot fingertip by using gravitational compensation and pressure changed in pneumatic cylinder piston. The approach is done to replace the commercial force sensor that may be expensive for heavy-duty configuration. The formulation was done by considering the torque of robot's finger joint, finger dimension as well as its actuator and the different pressures in cylinder piston. The gravitational force is calculated from the geometry of the robot's finger as dynamic gain for the force of pneumatic cylinder. The proposed method is validated on a heay-duty pneumatic Tri-grasper Robot with the simple basic movement and blocked randomly by human barehand. The results show that the force output by the estimator is almost identical to the loadcell sensor that attached on the fingertip at about 2% error in average. The sensitivity is a bit low for small and fragile material but enough for heavy-duty application that generally with hard and rough surfaces.
