Abstract This work reports the evaluation of a tactile sensor for the potential of using it to measure the compliance of folding cartons. A tactile sensor would make it possible to measure the mechanical behavior locally around the contact point, in contrast to existing methods that measure the global mechanical behavior of the carton. Research on the haptic sense has shown that the local mechanical behavior is more important than the global behavior when humans assess compliance of objects. It is shown that the response of the tactile sensor correlates strongly with the bending stiffness of the board, but also with geometric features. A method for reducing the 22-dimensional output of the sensor to single meaningful feature using linear discriminant analysis is proposed and tested. The results show that the sensor is a good candidate for a method that incorporates both cutaneous and kinaesthetic information in the measure of carton compliance.

评估使用触觉传感器测量纸箱合规性

摘要 这项工作报告了触觉传感器用于测量折叠纸盒合规性的潜力的评估。与测量纸箱整体机械性能的现有方法相比，触觉传感器可以测量接触点周围的局部机械性能。触觉研究表明，当人类评估物体的顺应性时，局部机械行为比全局行为更重要。结果表明，触觉传感器的响应与板的弯曲刚度密切相关，但也与几何特征相关。提出并测试了一种使用线性判别分析将传感器的 22 维输出减少为单个有意义特征的方法。
