The invention discloses a self-adaptive visual
tactile sensor and an adjusting method, the self-adaptive visual
tactile sensor comprises a base and a shell, a control panel, a camera and at least one
light source assembly are fixedly arranged on the base, a contact
assembly is fixedly arranged at the upper end of the shell, and the self-adaptive visual
tactile sensor is characterized in that a
light source rotation driving mechanism is arranged on the base, and a
liquid lens is fixedly arranged on the base; the
liquid lens is located between the camera and the contact
assembly, the center of the
liquid lens and the
optical axis of the camera are located on the same straight line, and the local
focal length of the liquid lens and the included angle between the
light source assembly and the horizontal plane can be automatically adjusted through electric signals sent by the contact assembly. The
system has the advantages that imaging of the camera is clear, and the
imaging quality is ensured; moreover, the camera achieves secondary focusing through the liquid lens, so that the camera does not need to adjust the position of the lens for imaging of different object distances, the focusing distance between the contact assembly and the camera is greatly shortened, and the overall size of the visual tactile sensor is reduced.
