The aptitude to graze stuff and surfaces plays a vital job
in individual progress and knowledge. Scratching is facilitated by the intellect
of touch (which includes receptors for touch, vibration, pain, heat) and the being
there of nails. While most animals have some variety of nails (or hoofs) this notion
does not even exists in robotics.
This project is concerning designing artificial finger nails for a humanoid robot that are appropriate for identifying surfaces and material properties of objects merely by scratching them. The nails will have to be equipped with sensors for touch, vibrations, and accelerations. Aesthetics are significant in this project, so efficiency would be a key. The nails will have to be designed so that they fit the three-finger Barrett hands of the Upper-torso humanoid robot in the Developmental Robotics Lab. A PCB may have to be designed to control and read the input of up to three finger nails at the same time. Finally, the team working on this project will have to design and write the control software for the finished product and reveal a working hardware and software prototype.
