摘要
Nowadays, robots hold crucial roles in an increasing number of different fields, highlighting an ongoing transition to ever-closer collaboration between humans and machines. In this context, this new technological era has brought out safety issues and, consequently, robots need to be monitored with an appropriate control architecture and human–machine interaction forces should be correctly estimated. For this purpose, friction, inertia, external perturbation, and the intrinsic dynamic of the robots should be monitored. This specific work starts from the need to monitor human–robot interaction forces to ensure safety for users. A successful case study concerning the integration of additional sensors on a wrist robot that directly interacts with humans is shown. Its limits have been the inability to directly measure forces applied by users and the impossibility to know accurately the end-effector position. Firstly, introducing a force/torque sensor, the detection of the forces applied by the user to the robot has been enabled. The user’s force data have been used to measure force dissipation and, together with the smoothness of operation, to compare three different embeddable mechanisms. Moreover, the integration of a linear encoder allowed measuring the instantaneous end-effector position on a non-actuated linear guideway, consequently knowing the motor torque value and the force applied by the robot to the user. This has been compared to the interaction force estimated from the motor torques without the linear sensor. The error assessed between the force measured with the encoder and estimated without it is about 12.9%. These results demonstrate the importance of this new embedded system to detect human–machine interaction forces in an accurate way and prevent safety issues.
