The PapillArray is the only commercial sensor that measures all the tactile parameters required for object manipulation and calculates the optimal grip forces for autonomous robotic manipulation in real-time. It measures every tactile parameter that is important for manipulation:
- Local 3D deflection, 3D force and 3D vibration
- Global 3D force
- 3D Torque
- Incipient slip
- Friction
And calculates the target grip force required to prevent an object from slipping, in real-time.
The PapillArray Tactile Sensor Development Kit includes the following:
- 2x sensor array (3×3 sensing elements each)
- 1x controller
- 2x sensor cable
- 1x USB cable
The PapillArray Tactile Sensor Development Kit comes with the following PC software included:
- Standalone Visualisation and Logging Software (Windows)
- C++ library and Python library for Windows and Linux
- ROS Node & ROS 2 Node
