Embodiment Construction

[0032] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0033] will be based on Figure 1 to Figure 6 The first embodiment will be described. figure 1 A robot according to the present embodiment is shown. The robot 2 is, for example, an assembly robot used in a production line.

[0034] The robot 2 includes a base 6 on which a part 4 as an object to be grasped (target object) is placed; a main shaft 8 fixed on the base 6; a fixed link 10 fixed on the main shaft 8; a movable link 12, 14, 16, and a grabbing device 18 arranged at the front end of the movable link 16.

[0035] The main shaft 8, the fixed link 10, the movable links 12, 14, 16 and the grabbing device 18 constitute the robot arm.

[0036] The component 4 grasped by the gripping device 18 is transferred to the assembly position by a displacement movement of the robot arm.

[0037] The gripping device 18 comprises a pair of grippers 20 , 22 which can be op...

Abstract

The gripping device 18 is provided at the front end of the arm of the assembly robot 2 . The gripping device 18 has a pair of grippers 20, 22 which can be opened and closed. A pressure sensitive sensor 24 is arranged on the side of each gripper 20 , 22 which is in contact with the component 4 . The pressure sensitive sensor 24 has a first electrode and a second electrode constituting a pair of electrodes, and an intermediate layer formed of rubber and a rubber composition provided between the pair of electrodes. The middle layer is deformed by contact with the object (component 4) to generate electricity. The side of the intermediate layer that is in contact with the object is subjected to surface modification treatment and has a higher hardness than the opposite side.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a pressure sensitive sensor, a gripping device and a robot. Background technique [0002] For example, a grasping device provided in a robot hand is provided with a pressure sensitive sensor to grasp objects to be grasped (target objects) having different characteristics such as shape, hardness, surface characteristics, and weight without destroying the objects to be grasped. [0003] The grasping status is detected in real time from the output signal of the pressure sensitive sensor to control the grasping force (contact pressure), moving speed, etc. In recent years, in order to accurately handle various objects to be grasped, there is a need for sensitivity as a tactile sensor that can provide sensations (such as a sense of pressure and a sense of sliding) comparable to human fingertips. [0004] For example, there is known a pressure-sensitive sensor in which conductive particles such as carbon are dispersed in a rubber mat...
