Abstract |
In this paper, we implement harness system using strain gauge-based and FSR (Force Sensitive Resistor) sensor-based handles for interaction between quadruped robot and the blind. We compare the pros and cons of two sensors when sensing tensional/compressional or torsional force from human’s hand. Our findings demonstrate the harness system’s ability to differentiate between mere grasping, pulling and twisting of the handle. By using the trend of this data, the user can easily interact with the quadruped robot without physical switch or additional devices. |
