Why choose this project topic?
The project addresses detecting gentle contact with inert objects using a compliant sensor, making the interaction between mechanism, sensor and controller visible. Comparing contact accuracy, force error and response delay gives a student a useful basis for design decisions, demonstrations and a critical discussion of where the integrated system can fail.
How do the selected sensing, actuation or control choices affect contact accuracy, force error and response delay when detecting gentle contact with inert objects using a compliant sensor?
Select an available approved trainer or fictional model, then agree the mechanism, control range and evaluation protocol for detecting gentle contact with inert objects using a compliant sensor.
Proposed project objectives
- 01Specify the mechanism, interfaces and operating limits required for detecting gentle contact with inert objects using a compliant sensor.
- 02Use an approved low-force fixture, compare sensor thresholds and validate against a reference force measurement.
- 03Evaluate contact accuracy, force error and response delay and document failure cases and uncertainty.
A suggested research approach
Use an approved low-force fixture, compare sensor thresholds and validate against a reference force measurement. Obtain approval for any physical rig and keep testing supervised and within low-energy limits. Record the mechanical and software configuration, compare contact accuracy, force error and response delay against a stated reference, and distinguish demonstration success from validated field reliability.
What you will need
- Low-force test fixture
- Compliant sensor
- Reference force gauge
Keep your project scope clear
The sensor must not be used on patients or claim safe human-robot interaction.
