NewDeri humanoid robot tactile sensors have been successfully delivered in batches!

Humanoid is recognized as the most complex form of robot. It has a human-like appearance and limb structure, and can perform human behaviors such as walking, running, grasping and operating tools, and can complete more diverse, complex and delicate work tasks instead of humans.

At the same time, humanoid robots are more acceptable and easier to establish emotional connections with users and interact with them. The broad application prospects and huge business opportunities have attracted widespread attention and popularity in the market. With the continuous advancement of underlying technologies, it is foreseeable that humanoid robots will gradually mature and be mass-produced, benefiting thousands of families.

>>When humanoid robots become reality

The perception system is the basis for the working ability of humanoid robots. Through the simultaneous collaboration of the perception-decision-making systems, humanoid robots can accurately perform work tasks.

Among them, tactile perception As the only sense of contact between the robot and the physical world , it is the core perception ability of humanoid robots. Through touch, the weight, stiffness, deformation and other tactile senses of objects can be obtained, so as to better perform work tasks and ensure the stability and safety of the robot's work. Especially when vision is obstructed or when working in a complex environment, tactile perception can achieve more reliable execution results for humanoid robots.

>>NDT Robot Tactile Sensor

The NDT robot tactile sensor is based on the piezoresistive principle . When the sensor is subjected to force, it undergoes a slight deformation, and the resistance value changes accordingly. The differential output is output through the Wheatstone bridge, ultimately achieving accurate force size and position.

Compared with other principles, NDT robot tactile sensors have the advantages of high sensitivity, simple installation, and long-lasting durability .

Advantages of NDT Robot Tactile Sensors

1. High sensitivity , capable of identifying force changes up to 0.05N.

2. Extremely simple installation . NDT provides finger joint modules with tactile sensors, which can be directly installed to replace the original finger joints. It is easy to load and unload, which is convenient for the modification and upgrading of the first generation of humanoid robots.

3. Durable and has undergone tens of millions of life tests.

When applied in dexterous hands, it can achieve flexible tactile perception at the fingertips, sensitively identify the point of force and the magnitude of the force when the fingertips contact objects , and realize multiple functions.

Dexterous hand function

1. Pressure distribution perception

Providing pressure distribution information between the robot's finger tips and the contact surface of the object, helping the robot perceive information such as the object's weight and shape, and adaptively adjusting the best finger grasping method and strength to achieve precise control.

2. Vibration Sensing

Detecting the vibration frequency and amplitude of an object helps the robot determine the object's motion state and identify machine failures or instability.

3. Temperature Sensing

For robots that need to handle high/low temperature objects, NDT tactile sensors can be integrated to provide temperature data of the contacted objects, effectively avoiding robot damage and safety accidents.

With more than ten years of rich technology and experience accumulation, and in recent years of dedicated research and development, NewDray has successfully delivered tactile sensors for robot dexterous hands in batches, leading the industry . Let us look forward to the official release of our customer's humanoid robot products!
